This
report
decribes
research
being
carried
out
in
Parkfield,
California
whose
purpose
is
to
better
understand
the
physics
of
earthquakes:
what
actually
happens
on
the
fault
and
in
the
surrounding
region
before,
during
and
after
an
earthquake.
Ultimately,
scientists
hope
to
better
understand
the
earthquake
process
and,
if
possible,
to
provide
a
scientific
basis
for
earthquake
prediction.
