SEISMOTECTONIC PROGNOSTICATIONS, LTD
Annual Report 2001 - updated 25 May 2007 The USGS and NSF regard precise leveling as passé and consider the only way to do tectonic geodesy is with GPS - and with big, comprehensive arrays at that - even with fixed, continuously recording instruments. Read between those lines and conclude that I have not been funded to continue with my way of doing research for several years. Some of the equipment has worn out or been donated to others to use, so my efforts in tectonic geodesy are pretty much ended. I did get out to the Kern Front fault yesterday to relevel nine of eleven short fault crossing arrays. I may have more work to do there, so the preliminary results are that the displacement is still continuing at 5 mm/yr. I have managed to nail people every once in a while to remeasure the nails across the San Andreas fault at Nyland Ranch in San Juan Bautista. They have been measured about 45 times in the last 40 years. Have a look at the latest results. Many of the crew have checked in, but I'm not going to share their adventures with you on the web - you'll have to contact me directly for recent news of individual crew. I can tell you, however, I have heard recently from Tom Bruskotter and John Byrd. For those that are interested in such things, I now have three grandchildren, one of whom will be running a rod soon, and the other who will be handling the notebook. In the meantime, they have a lot of growing to do, one being 9, one being 7, and the other 5 years. AGS Click here to see the list of currently Lost Souls. Return to Crew Page.
