  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="_mce_caret" data-mce-bogus="1" data-mce-type="format-caret"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Two-color laser ranging measurements during a 15-month period over a geodetic network spanning the San Andreas fault near Palmdale, California, indicate that the crust expands and contracts aseismically in episodes as short as 2 weeks. Shear strain parallel to the fault has accumulated monotonically since November 1980, but at a variable rate. Improvements in measurement precision and temporal resolution over those of previous geodetic studies near Palmdale have resulted in the definition of a time history of crustal deformation that is much more complex than formerly realized.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
