The next hurdle is to find a way of predicting earthquakes, so they don't catch people by surprise. ...

(If we can discover when large earthquakes have occurred in the past, it lets us start to make educated guesses about when they might occur in the future. ... This is not an unreasonable assumption: we know for a fact that the fault moved horizontally 21 feet (six and a half meters) here in 1906! Any surface disturbance would become buried as the swamp continued to fill in; later earthquakes would thus leave discontinuities closer and closer to the present-day ground surface. ...
• The idea behind this was to find correlatable subsurface features offset by motion during prehistoric earthquakes. If enough corresponding features could be found and dated, it becomes possible to calculate not only when prehistoric earthquakes occurred but also how much the fault offset during them. ...

• The Centre's main task is to redetermine earthquake locations making use of all available information, and to search for new earthquakes, previously unidentified by individual agencies. ...
