  <dc:description>&lt;div id="Abs1-section" class="c-article-section"&gt;&lt;div id="Abs1-content" class="c-article-section__content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;THE installation of an array of tiltmeters along the San Andreas Fault&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;has provided an excellent opportunity to study the amplitude and spatial scale of the tilt fields associated with fault creep. We report here preliminary results from, and some implications of, a search for interrelated surface tilts and creep event observations at four pairs of tiltmeters and creepmeters along an active 20-km stretch of the San Andreas Fault. We have observed clear creep-related tilts above the instrument resolution (10&lt;sup&gt;−8&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;rad) only on a tiltmeter less than 0.5 km from the fault. The tilt events always preceded surface creep observations by 2–12 min, and were not purely transient in character.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
