Hi All, Bruce Bolt has an Op-Ed piece on quake prediction in this past Thursday's Wall St. Journal, page A22. In a nutshell, precursors such as they are, are not reliable and the most effective path is seismic hazard mitigation through well engineered structures. A large amount of strong motion data is essential to the engineering process. Bolt adds that the U.S. and other quake prone areas need more strong motion data networks to enlarge the data base of how quakes effect structures. Not only buildings but bridges, highways and other infrastructure.
