Abstract
Geodetic time series determined with the Global Positioning System indicate that the geodetic rate of a permanent site in Pasadena, California (JPLM) changed significantly after the 17 January 1994 Northridge California earthquake. Subtracting the pre‐quake rate and co‐seismic offset leaves 30±4 mm of integrated eastward excess motion observed in the three years following the earthquake. North and vertical components show excess motion of −11 plusmn;3 mm and 25±11 mm respectively. Local surveys to three additional points near JPLM changed by no more than 6 mm E, 3 mm N, and 15 mm V during the two years after the earthquake, ruling out the possibility of a local effect at the JPLM monument. The direction and size of the post‐seismic displacements at JPLM are not consistent with additional slip on the fault which ruptured. The most rapid accumulation of excess motion occurs immediately after the earthquake, suggesting a relationship between the two events.
