The San Diego region had enjoyed a long period of seismic quiescence since the last damaging earthquake in 1862. This quiescence was broken in 1984 with several earthquake swarms in San Diego Bay. Because of the lack of consensus among geoscientists about future earthquake threats, a workshop was conducted that: brought together all interested geoscientists; brought together all available data for debate and discussion; evaluated the data; and identified data gaps and recommended a collective approach. Includes charts, graphs, and drawings. Extensive references.
