Jigsaw Puzzle : Seismological laser monitoring Parkfield fault
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Seismological laser monitoring Parkfield fault
Parkfield earthquake prediction experiment. Laser system being used to monitor the movement of the San Andreas fault at Parkfield in central California. Seismologists have predicted that an earthquake of about magnitude six will occur on the fault at Parkfield before 1993. Dozens of researchers have made the town the most heavily instrumented earthquake region in the world. The laser is mounted on a nearby hilltop and is operated by Parkfield schoolteacher Duane Hamann. It bounces light off of a network of 18 reflectors located several kilometres away. The system will pick up movements of less than one millimetre over a total distance of six kilometres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the groundbreaking seismological laser monitoring system used to study the Parkfield fault in central California. As part of a pioneering earthquake prediction experiment, seismologists have long anticipated a magnitude six earthquake occurring on this fault before 1993. To unravel the mysteries hidden beneath the Earth's surface, dozens of dedicated researchers have transformed Parkfield into an unparalleled hub for seismic instrumentation. Among them is Duane Hamann, a passionate schoolteacher from Parkfield who operates the laser system mounted atop a nearby hilltop. The laser technology employed here is truly remarkable. It relies on bouncing light off a network of 18 strategically placed reflectors situated several kilometers away. With astonishing precision, this cutting-edge setup can detect movements as minuscule as one millimeter over an impressive total distance of six kilometers. As we delve deeper into understanding earthquakes and their unpredictable nature, tools like these become invaluable resources for scientists worldwide. This image encapsulates both the relentless pursuit of knowledge and the unwavering dedication exhibited by those involved in earthquake research. Captured by Science Photo Library, this photograph not only captures scientific innovation but also serves as a reminder that our quest to comprehend natural phenomena knows no bounds.
