SCIGN unveiling event

July 6, 2001

The major objectives of theSCIGN array are:

• To provide regional coverage for estimating earthquake potential throughout Southern California

• To identify active blind thrust faults and test models of compressional tectonics in the Los Angeles region

• To measure local variations in strain rate that might reveal the mechanical properties of earthquake faults

• In the event of an earthquake, to measure permanent crustal deformation not detectable by seismographs, as well as the response of major faults to the regional change in strain

Thanks to the many people of SCIGN:
