Geodolite measurements near the Briones Hills, California, earthquake swarm of January 8, 1977

U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, 345 MIDDLEFIELD ROAD, MENLO PARK, CALIFORNIA 94025

Abstract

Two geodetic stations, the positions of which are frequently monitored by geodetic distance-measuring techniques, were located 5 and 10 km from the epicentral area of the Briones Hills earthquake swarm (maximum magnitude M_L = 4.3) of January 1977. Although a 10 µradian postearthquake tilt change was recorded at a nearby tiltmeter, no significant change in geodetic distances could be detected at a sensitivity of at least 0.5 ppm. A simple dislocation model of the main earthquake in the swarm would predict no observable change in either tilt or geodetic distance.
