On day 2 of the trip, Team G was delayed by strong winds and a broken motor. The boats remained stationary in a cove as we awaited the arrival of a replacement motor.

Geologists with USGS, the California Geological Survey (CGS) and Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake (NAWS) worked together in response to the Ridgecrest earthquake sequence in California that occurred July 4-6, 2019. The earthquakes were large enough that the fault rupture reached the earth’s surface.
