Scientists test lubricating fault to curb big quakes
Pasadena reports a Caltech led study at the Santa Fe Springs oil field tests lubricating the San Andreas fault to trigger small, undetectable quakes. Water would be pumped to ease slip between fault faces, aiming to release strain gradually rather than in major jolts. Researchers call it potentially costly but could save lives and money.
