For the dataset, go to: http://scedc.caltech.edu/research-tools/eewtesting.html

## Statement of work

1. Get data
- We have downloaded a catalogue of earthquakes in Southern California: the data is in a tabular format, with each earthquake event associated with a location, time, magnitude, depth, etc.
- Get locations of fault lines (this exists, we don't know how to get it yet)
2. Visualization
- Scatter plotting earthquake event quakes over time and distance
- Movie/GIF to show evolution over time?
- Overplot fault lines to see spatial correlations
3. Measure distance between earthquake and fault line
- multiple methods for this. how do we define this distance?
- do we need to worry about Earth's curvature?
4. Describe spatial and temporal correlations between earthquakes
- along fault line distance? linear distance?
- fit covariance functions? theoretically motivated?
- look into geostatistical methods?
