Project Abstract
 This SCEC project help support the deployment of 3 nodes arrays in the San Bernardino Basin in 2018., In all, approximately 180 nodes were installed along 3 line as shown in Figure 1. The purpose is to improve the ground motion prediction of potential earthquakes on the southern San Andreas Fault (SAF).
Intellectual Merit This SCEC project help support the deployment of 3 nodes arrays in the San Bernardino Basin in 2018., In all, approximately 180 nodes were installed along 3 line as shown in Figure 1. The purpose is to improve the ground motion prediction of potential earthquakes on the southern San Andreas Fault (SAF).
Broader Impacts The deployment this year was accomplished with the help of 24 participants from several institutions (Caltech, CPP, LSU, JPL, USC, USGS and others). These included undergraduates, grad students, faculty, high-school students.
Exemplary Figure Figure 1. Deployments in the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Basins. The blue lines show the arrays recorded in 2017 and 2018, while the red are planned for 2019. The blue dots are broadband stations deployed by the Harvard and CPP groups that were present for the 2018 node lines.
