CHO3

cho3

Creepmeter CHO3 has been installed across two merging cracks only 30 m west of Creepmeter CHO2. The origin of these large cracks is still a matter of debate. A continuous time series of displacement data across the crack in combination with precise leveling across the whole crack field will provide information about strain partitioning and the fraction of potential non tectonic displacement.
