  • Title: Variation of P-Wave Velocity before the Bear Valley, California, Earthquake of 24 February 1972.
    Author: Robinson R, Wesson RL, Ellsworth WL.
    Journal: Science; 1974 Jun 21; 184(4143):1281-3. PubMed ID: 17784227.
    Abstract:
    Residuals for P-wave traveltimes at a seismnograph station near Bear Valley, California, for small, precisely located local earthquakes at distances of 20 to 70 kilometers show a sharp increase of nearly 0.3 second about 2 months before a magnitude 5.0 earthquake that occurred within a few kilometers of the station. This indicates that velocity changes observed elsewhere premonitory to earthquakes, possibly related to dilatancy, occur along the central section of the San Andreas fault system.
