Visual markers along fault line: Parkfield
Parkfield earthquake prediction experiment. Stakes planted along the surface trend of a fault act as visual markers to aid detection of ground movement. Seismologists have predicted that an earthquake of around magnitude 6 will occur on the San Andreas fault at Parkfield before 1993. Dozens of researchers have made the village the most heavily instrumented earthquake region in the world. A television camera aligned along the axis of the stakes is set up to record any ground rupture or movement which might occur. It is automatically triggered by signals from a creepmeter located at Middle Mountain, 4km away, the probable epicentre of the predicted quake.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the innovative earthquake prediction experiment conducted in Parkfield, California. Visual markers in the form of stakes have been strategically planted along the surface trend of a fault to aid in detecting ground movement. Seismologists had foreseen an impending earthquake with a magnitude of approximately 6 on the notorious San Andreas fault at Parkfield before 1993. To ensure accurate monitoring, this village has become the most heavily instrumented earthquake region worldwide, attracting dozens of dedicated researchers. Among their cutting-edge equipment is a television camera precisely aligned along the axis of these stakes. Its purpose is to record any potential ground rupture or movement that may occur as a result of seismic activity. The camera operates autonomously and springs into action upon receiving signals from a creepmeter located at Middle Mountain, situated around 4 kilometers away from Parkfield – believed to be the probable epicenter for this predicted quake. This remarkable photograph not only captures scientists' tireless efforts but also symbolizes humanity's ongoing quest to understand and predict natural disasters like earthquakes. It serves as a testament to our determination to safeguard lives and communities by pushing boundaries in seismology research and technology development.
