Calif Earthquakes
3 messages in this thread
Doug,
Hi, My name is Gary Welch; I am sending this message to you in hopes that you
can direct me to a source of information. I am looking for a program or a map
that will show me the earthquake history of California, with faults and
locations, and times/dates. I have tried the geological survey at Cal Tech,
But got no response from them. Is there a program that will give this
information, or maybe a BBS that specializes in earthquakes??? I would
appreciate any information you could pass on.
THANKS
Gary W.
May I jump in? You can get a great deal of quake info from: Public Seismic
Network (FREE), (408)226-0675, 2400 N-8-1 This is one of several numbers in the
Bay & LA areas. Detailed lists of quakes can be downloaded.
I don't have handy the number for National Earthquake Information Center,
Golden, CO. I think they have a BBS.
If you want EQ warning info, check the files from my EARTHQUAKE WARNING
RESEARCH PROJECT, which are available in Library one of EARTH forum. I am
adding and upgrading files. Two items from bibliography EQBOOK.TXT are:
California Quake, Meyer, Larry L., Nashville, Tenn.: Sherbourne Press, Inc.,
1977. History, Geophysics, Earthquakes, Earthquake Prediction. !!! Excellent.
Forward by SENATOR Alan Cranston; quakes "CAN BE PREDICTED." Spanish missions
destroyed; history of EQ prediction efforts. 76-44275 0-8202-0134-0
QE535.2.U6M47
The Coming Quake, Heppenheimer, T.A., New York: Times Books (Random House),

This project is a result of Charlotte King's experience. She HEARS the earth;
predicted eruptions of Mt St Helens, many quakes.

Hi, Gary–
I do not know if it will have what you are after, but 800-358-2663 is a number
I picked up from earlier forum messages for USGS seismology and geomagnetic
data. Use 1200 bps and N-8-1 (no parity, 8 bits, 1 stop bit) modem settings.
For 9600 bps (baud) use phone 1-703-648-4168. I have not tried this myself.
You might also want to download GEOINF.ZIP in this forum's library (geology
section 12), which tells how to contact the GeoInfo BBS network, as another
possible source of info.
