Imagine standing alone in Parkfield one million years ago on a vast glacial ice sheet two thousand feet thick and spanning thousands of miles wide. Alone on this horizontal sheet of white ice you would not be able to sense the slow crushing, scraping and ripping of this massive slither of frozen water as it headed south.

In the now year of 2008 our planet is effectively leaving the Little Ice Age (LIA) period which lasted between the mid 16th Century until the mid 19th Century. This medieval cold period began ending around 1850. Some global warming critics believe that Earth’s climate is still recovering from this period and that human activity is not the decisive factor in present temperature trends, but this notion is not widely accepted. Mainstream scientific opinion over the past 50 years is that global warming is caused primarily by atmospheric pollution as a direct result of human activity. Our planet was beginning to warm from around 1850 and until 1950 and it is debatable as to the causes of this warming period in which we are now experiencing.

Without biting into the global warming debate one thing that is for certain is that California at some point over the next 30 years has a 99% chance of enduring a major earthquake of Magnitude 6.7 and above.

Standing in Parkfield today the Pacific Plate is creeping one inch north (the same direction and displacement of the PIEQF shake table) and folding one inch west into the Pacific Ocean. If I were to stay on this geological ride it would take roughly 450 million years to get to New Zealand. Now thats a few ice ages and meteorite strikes to experience in which new evidence points to the most recent catastrophic meteorite impact took place over Canada 12,900 years ago.

The Parkfield Interventional EQ Fieldwork control system should go live this weekend. When the PIEQF control system is switched to geo-interactive mode so begins this dialectical time based action. This readymade collection of readymade silicon and iron ore derived components (shake table) installed in an excavated trench connects via bits and bytes with a window of deep time resulting in a temporary blip on the geological radar in which we inhabit.

Are you prepared?
