My USGS Science Strategy Areas

The overall focus of my work has been to (1) understand the mechanics of failure of active faults and volcanoes using a variety of instruments that have included magnetometers, tiltmeters, linear and tensor strainmeters, telluric current monitors, differential lake level, borehole tensor and dilational strain, volcano displacement monitors, etc., (2) develop physical models describing crustal failure from the analysis of data from these instruments and (3) determine implications for the physics of the earthquake source from these data. This requires conceiving the research, designing instruments and data collections systems, organizing construction and installation, analyzing data and writing papers. This has required supervision of from 2 to 12 people at various times. The various instruments, in most cases, are not available commercially and must be designed and constructed within the USGS. Systems  that include digital telemetry for monitoring these data from remote sites, computer systems for retrieval and display of these data, analysis techniques and programs for interpretation of the observations obtained were set up in order to obtain, analyze and interpret these data in real time. Recent impacts of this work have been from:

[1] Design and installation techniques for borehole strain, tilt, pore pressure and seismic monitoring systems that was used exclusively by the National Science Foundation for installation of 68 new borehole sites in western US as part of the new national Earthscope program.

[2] Design, installation of instruments including data collection system for deep mine monitoring of high frequency (12 KHz) seismic velocity/acceleration, strain, fault creep, fault zone temperature, and electromagnetic signals. This is now the state-of-the- art for these measurements. There is no other system operating anywhere else in the world other than ours at 3.6 km depth in Tau Tona mine in South Africa.

[3] Detection of  “slow earthquakes” and slow slip events and their relation to tremor and the occurrence of large plate-boundary earthquakes is now a major focus area in seismology and geodesy, particularly in the USA, Japan, Mexico, Chile, Greece and Turkey.

[4] Identification of electromagnetic effects associated with the earthquake failure process currently defines the current state of this field of geophysics.

[5] Design of volcano monitoring systems using borehole tiltmeters and strainmeters, pore pressure and electromagnetic systems has been implemented in Hawaii, Japan, Italy and on many other volcanoes throughout the world. The most recent was Taal volcano in the Phillipines, installed in January 2010, just in time to catch the volcanic crisis in May-June, 2010. 

a) Project Chief and Task Leader of "Strain, Tilt and Magnetic Field Measurements". Designed/installed instruments provided interpretation/assessment to managers, scientists and media of real-time strain, tilt, pore pressure, magnetic field and other data during events in critical study areas along the major fault segments of the San Andreas Fault System and other major fault systems in the world. These areas include Parkfield, San Juan Bautista, Southern California, San Francisco Bay region, Red River Fault, China, Baboshan Fault, China, Miyake Jima, Japan, etc. Organized installation of new networks of instruments near unexpected earthquakes such as at Loma Prieta; 1989, Morgan Hill, 1984; Coyote Hills, 1979; El Centro, 1985; etc. Instrument systems and installation and data analysis techniques used are now being copied and implemented through the western US by the National Science Foundation’s EarthScope Program.

b) Chief coordinator of efforts to obtain real-time geophysical data on tensor strain, tilt, seismic, pressure fields, electric fields, etc using deep boreholes drilled near the San Andreas fault and in volcanic areas. While difficult to obtain because of the complex nature of drilling near and within active faults, these data provide state-of-the-art information uncontaminated by spurious and misleading noise in the surface materials near active faults.
