Research Experiences for Undergraduates,
August 7, 2009
'Tez' Tadepalli and Jamie Steidl describe the several active faults in the vicinity of the Garner Valley Field Site.
Students from the University of California at San Diego and Los Angeles who participated in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates visited the SFSI structure and instrumented field site at Garner Valley. About 20 students made the several hour drive from San Diego and Los Angeles to see a live demonstration of the SFSI building shaker, as well as see actual boreholes and instrumentation.
After the presentation, the students drove north to the visit the San Andreas fault zone near Palm Springs. Faults in desert areas, with little vegetation, are clearly visible.
Coming soon, a video of the presentation.
