Hi Mark. These are USGS sites. The ones for Rodgers Creek fault will consist of a creep meter, dilational strain, tensor strain, tilt meters and magnetometers. They will have them on each side of the fault.

I used the dilational strain meters for the forecasting of the quakes.

A broken cable caused the current ELF data for Los Gatos. So that should be black tomorrow as it was repaired today.

USGS has a lot of data we never see. They have enough problems just keeping it going so they can use it let alone trying to get it on the net where most of the people wouldn’t know how to use it. The other problem is that the bugs haven’t been chased out.

There are two satellites in use now that have the capability of detecting the ELF from an area under strain. Very limited data has been gathered from two satellite systems, Aureol 3 and Cosmos 1809. This looks like the better of the systems in use now as they can cover the whole earth. Of course more satellites would be needed. The good thing about this is that any satellite sent up could be equipped with the necessary sensors.

The following was taken from the “Earthquake Tracker” site. Take Care…Don in creepy town.

“The author participated in an Aerospace Corporation proposal, "Global ELF Observations - (GEO)", to detect weekly magnitude 6, monthly magnitude 7, or yearly magnitude 8 earthquakes over the entire planet. (Ref. Aerospace Corp. proposal to NASA-ESSP in 1997). The response from the independent evaluation team to the Aerospace proposal was that more systematic ground-based ELF monitoring should be performed before the satellite collection program was justified.

The EarthquakeTracker.com project offers a 50 site monitoring networking to obtain "baseline" ELF data.

Stellar Solutions plans to extend this ground network by adding a space-based ELF sensor on a microsat, and monitoring the earth for two to three years to gather statistics on global earthquake activity. We are calling the space-based project, Earthquake Finder.”
