BACK ON TOPIC... What does it take to measure ones distance from the
center of the Earth accurately enough to detect geological movement in
a reasonable amount of time? Measuring distance really is, I think
a time nut problem as I bet it involves measuring radio waves.
Considering that the Pacific Plate is moving north at about 2cm/year,
that is easily detectable with GPS and post processing. Somebody in
Southern California should be able to measure it without going to too
exotic an effort: you need a GPS receiver that can put out the
observables in a gipsy file, and then post process through JPL's website.
The Ventura Anticline is still rising at about the same rate.
