Fault Behavior and Kinematic Evolution of the Eastern California Shear Zone
… The dynamics and deformation history of the Eastern California shear zone (ECSZ), a wide and complex network of right-lateral strike-slip faults, is not well understood, despite hosting three large (>Mw 7.0) earthquake ruptures in recent decades. The low-net slip faults of the ECSZ (each with …

Earthquakes in complex fault settings: Examples from the Oregon Cascades, Eastern California Shear Zone, and San Andreas fault
… basin, strike-slip faulting within a wide shear zone, and creeping fault behavior all manifest differently and require a variety of techniques for analysis. In this dissertation I studied three different actively deforming regions across a variety of geologic settings. First, I explored the …

Geologic Mapping in the Black Mountain Area, Northern Eastern California Shear Zone: Testing a Kinematic and Geometric Fault Slip Transfer Model
… studies in the Black Mountain area, northern eastern California shear zone, are used to test a kinematic fault slip transfer model for the Owens Valley fault-Mina deflection transition. In the Black Mountain area, range bounding ~NNW- to ~NS-striking and lesser NW- to NE-striking normal faults …

Evolution of Deformation Along Restraining Bends Based on Case Studies of Different Scale and Complexity
… bend at San Gorgonio Pass in southern California by relating fault kinematics within the uplifted San Bernardino Mountains to the nearby Eastern California shear zone. Using highresolution topography (i.e. UAV and lidar surveys), I studied the plausibility of faulting along two …

Paleomagnetic data bearing on the evolution of the Walker Lane Belt transfer zone from mid-Miocene to present : an investigation of the inferred southern and eastern boundaries
The Walker Lane Belt (WLB) transfer zone, which initiated in the mid-Miocene, presently links the Eastern California Shear Zone in the south to the Central Nevada Seismic Belt and northern WLB to the northeast and north, respectively. The boundaries of the transfer system are clear on the northern …

Interoperability between the StraboSpot graph database and GIS software– A Malpais Mesa Use Case
… complexity of the area – it is situated in the Eastern California Shear Zone and the westernmost range of the Basin and Range province – which would adequately test for bugs in the mobile application and create robust StraboSpot data which I then used in the development of the GIS connections. …

Neotectonics and Paleoseismology of the North Frontal Thrust System, southern California
… junction between the Transverse Ranges and the Eastern California shear zone in southern California provides a natural analog to the seismic setting of the Los Angeles basin. Along the northern flank of the San Bernardino Mountains, the east-west trending North Frontal thrust system is …
