Comparison of accuracy of real time data (RTD) GPS system versus traditional GPS data analysis. It is important to know the accuracy of the real time system so this information can be used in scientific and commercial applications in the future.

Project: Foreshock-Centric Short-Term Earthquake Hazard Forecasts
Presentation (PowerPoint, 1.9MB)

Currently, the Agnew-Jones foreshock model (which gives a probability of a given earthquake being a foreshock to a larger event) will give a different result depending upon which fault the mainshock is assumed to nucleate on. By re-doing the calculations for a given radius around the foreshock itself (foreshock-centric instead of mainshock cetric calculations), for all portions of faults lying within that area, instead of guessing at at most likely fault, we hope to improve the reliability of these results.

• Understand the behavior of stress under various simplified topographic loads
• Calculate the stress on faults due to these topographic loads
• Model the topographically induced stress on the San Andreas fault
