Abstract: The earthquake that hit San Francisco in 1906 was a milestone for seismologists, for it revealed a great deal about the physics of the process. Geodetic measurements made before and shortly after the event are still yielding important information, for they can provide invaluable measurements of fault slip. New analyses of these venerable data provide fresh and surprising estimates of the extent to which certain parts of the San Andreas fault slipped in 1906.
