For several years we have been accumulating GPS measurements of
tectonic deformation in this region of southern California. Although
the observational campaigns will continue, the highest priority at
this point is to understand the results in hand in the context of
theory. I would like to explore a range of three-dimensional
computer models that might be successful in explaining the results
that have been puzzling up to now.
Also, for students interested in hardware fabrication and electronics, there are continuing opportunities to design and build new seismometer instrumentation in the Edwards Geophysics Lab. Beginning in 2002, an observational solar system astronomy program is being conducted, using the 1-meter telescope at Table Mountain. An initial program to do light-curve photometry of asteroids is planned, with later possible observation of other outer solar system targets. |
