Crustal Deformation Measurements in the Vicinity of Vandenberg Air Force Base
Abstract
Recent geological and geodetic studies have suggested that the region surrounding Vandenberg AFB is undergoing active crustal deformation, with important implications for both the geodetic stability and the seismogenic potential of the Western Test Range (WTR) Feigl et al., 1990. Part of the evidence for significant deformation was obtained from GPS measurements which we carried out in cooperation with other university and government scientists beginning-in late 1986. These measurements were made annually through 1991 over a broad region of central and southern California but were of insufficient spatial and temporal density to answer important questions about the seismogenic potential of Vandenberg.
