Elsinore...creep?..also, SCEC...Vidale?

Glen,

I'm not sure whether creep on the Elsinore is known. Even if it is not known (I mean, by professional research earthquake geologists, you know it, the mine owner knows it), creep in the particular location may not be known. So, more details may be useful for you to post, and then you or I could email that information to someone (Tom Rockwell for example, or SCEC info. The only reason why I would mail Tom rather than you is that if he is swamped by email, he knows me and might read it). (The email I sent to David Lynch about the hot springs in a thread below bounced so I'll have to try again when I get back home)

Pavel: The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC, www.scec.org) has funding for a study of whether earthquakes can be predicted. You could email scecinfo, address would be on website. They would not be likely to fund a project such as yours, but if it was credible, they might study the method and any documented prediction results. But, your posts both raise "red flags" but also suggest you could be legitimate. The red flags are that you expect people to just accept that your method is sucessful. I've been posting here for years and reading the posts, and also from occassionally in the past looking at other sites, the internet/the world is full of people who are convinced that their prediction technique works. I also need to re-read your posts about block motions or whatever; something did not sound right on that, but maybe I am wrong (I need 2 monitors to post and read posts at the same time so need to get back to home office). You mention the names of some publications related to your work but it might be useful to have the full references (enough to find them in the literature so that, for example, John Vidale could comment.
I am not a seismologists; I am a research geologist familar with faults and folds but probably not with the science related to what you are doing.
Chris
