CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO, USA Temporal variation of the seismic movement tensor and the evidence of precursive compression for two deep earthqt~ke s.3F, 17R. NATURE, V. 247, JAN. 25,1974, P185-188. The general approach to the source mechanism problem has now become feasible because of the development of a novel method of processing the Fourier spectra of observed seismograms. The procedure applied depends on the availability of digitlsed recordings from a large number of well-distributed stations. Results presented for two deep earthquakes, indicate t~Jat the hypocentral region began to experience compression about 80s before the abrupt onset of each.

Fast-spreading centres such as the Galapagos spreading centre often show hiatuses hundreds of kilometres in length in WWSSN (World Wide Stargardized Seismic Network) recorded seismic activity. Sonobuoys were deployed over a seismically quiet segment of the Galapagos spreading centre to measure the seismicity at a close range. Auth.

This paper presents a review of the common methods of determining a soll water dlffusivlty parameter (a parameter of mathematical convenience used in soil water content distribution calculations) together with a discussion of their respective shortcomings. A modified method involving a very simple testing technique as well as simple calculation procedures is proposed. The suitability of this method is then assessed by testing its reproducibility using different sets of test data from the same type of test soil. 933 BERNAIY, J Drainage o rok fissures by use of smell canals.
