Second Lead for October 2004
Standing Guard Over LA:USGS scientists and colleagues at the Southern California Earthquake Center are using Global Positioning System technology to track minute changes in the Earth's surface around Los Angeles and assess the risk of future earthquakes. The PKRD station (see it at http://www.scec.org/scign/images/PKRD.jpg; USGS photo by John Galetzka), part of the Southern California Integrated GPS Network, watches over the city day and night. USGS is working with NSF and NASA to use GPS technology for monitoring earthquake hazards in urban areas like Los Angeles and along the San Andreas Fault System.
