Excerpt from Earthquakes and Other Earth Movements In the following pages it has been my object to give a systematic account of various Earth Movements. These comprise Earthquakes, or the sudden violent movements of the ground; Earth Tremors, or minute movements which escape our attention by the smallness of their amplitude; Earth Pulsations, or movements which are overlooked on account of the length of their period; and lastly, Earth Oscillations or movements of long period and large amplitude which attract so much attention from their geological importance. It is difficult to separate these Earth Movements from each other, because they are phenomena which only differ in degree, and which are intimately associated in their occurrence and in their origin. Because Earthquakes are phenomena which have attracted a universal attention since the earliest times, and about them so many observations have been made, they are treated of at considerable length.

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Special Publications Series, Volume 6. During the decade of the 1960s, science of the solid earth underwent an astonishing and awesome upheaval. In just a few years, geoscientists constructed a new way of describing and understanding the dynamics of everchanging earth, past and present, and so found a route to explanation for how most, if not all, of the great features of the earth's surface that have harbored and plagued and enchanted humans throughout their existence came to be. Continents, ocean basins, mountain ranges, deep sea trenches, earthquakes, and volcanoes suddenly became explicable as consequences of earth movements that, on a global scale, have a remarkably simple and readily understandable pattern. The long-sought key to the ponderous and agonizingly slow movements of earth that, over millennia, have deftly shaped our surroundings was found during that decade, or so most scientists think today, more than a quarter of a century later.

The seeds of this conference were sown with the publication by Press, in 1965, of a paper in which he suggested that the displacement field due to a major earthquake may extend over much greater distances than had been thought possible before. Later on, Mansinha and Smylie pointed out that if Press was correct then, since the redistri bution of significant quantities of mass was involved, the inertia tensor of the earth would be altered and thus cause the earth to wobble; this revived the idea that earth quakes might be the long sought source for maintaining the Chandler Wobble. They argued that since earthquakes are sudden events it should be worthwhile trying to determine if there was any correlation between sudden changes in the Chandler term of the pole path and major earthquakes. Furthermore, since displacements occur both before and after an earthquake it might be possible to obtain a few days warning of a major earthquake by making instantaneous observations of the pole path. Analysis of the data indicated some correlation but, as often happens in science in general and in geophysics in particular, the results were not conclusive because of imperfect theory and the need for more accurate determinations of the pole position. It soon became clear that a meeting between geophysicists and astronomers involved in this type of work would be of mutual benefit.
