Proceedings of Conference III: fault mechanics and its relation to earthquake prediction, convened under the auspices of National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, 1-3 December, 1977

On 1 - 3 December 1977, a Conference on "Fault Mechanics and Its Relation to Earthquake Prediction" was held at Stanford University, Stanford, California. This Conference was the third in a continuing series of Conferences to be held under the auspices of the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program. These Conferences and publication of their proceedings are a vital part of the EHRP, as they are intended to be state-of-knowledge Conferences and documents. They are intended to provide intellectual stimulus both to participants and to recipients of the proceedings. Participants in the EHRP are encouraged to suggest topics for future Conferences. The subject should be of comparatively narrow focus, should be based on active participation of all attendees, all of whom must be conducting research appropriate to the Conference theme. Total attendance is restricted to 25 or 30.
