Measurement and Interpretation of Crustal Deformation in an Active Fault Zone

提案者将使用一个独特的地壳集合 变形观测，以创建一个更好的图片断层- 区域运动学，从而更好地理解断层带力学。 随着预计来自GPS测量的此类数据的大量增加， 利用现有的数据， 我们可以从他们那里得到的，也是最好的收集方式， 组合并解释它们。 他们将主要集中在 圣哈辛托断层，在加利福尼亚州南部-一个仪器齐全的地区 也就是说，在其地震间隔的后期， 中到大地震的可能性相对较大。

The proposers will use a unique collection of crustal deformation observations to create an improved picture of fault- zone kinematics, and thus better understand fault-zone mechanics. With the vast increase in such data expected from GPS measurements, it makes sense to find out now, using existing data, what science we can get from them and also the best ways of collecting, combining, and interpreting them. They will mostly focus on the San Jacinto fault, in southern California-a well-instrumented area that is in the later part of its interseismic interval, with a moderate-to-large earthquake relatively likely.
