Surface Offset and Slip Rates for the Winter Rim Fault System in the Summer Lake Basin, Oregon
… ~264° (Crider, 2001). The USGS estimates a slip rate of 0.43 mm/yr, earthquake magnitudes of 6.5-7.19, and recurrence interval of 3.1 ka (Crone et al., 2009). However, these estimates are only based upon ARF and the unfavorably slip-oriented SMF. With high-resolution LiDAR, means to …

Kinematic models of deformation in Southern California constrained by geologic and geodetic data
… geodetic data. In the other, we assign a priori slip rates to the San Andreas, Garlock, Helendale, Newport-Inglewood, Owens Valley, Sierra Madre, and Chino faults to create a joint geologic and geodetic model, using the a priori slip rates to refine the results in areas with limited geodetic …

Distribution and Rates of Quaternary Deformation within the Pampean Flat Slab Segment of the Central Andes of Argentina from 30-32°S
… from both absolute and relative geomorphic slip rates. A shortening rate of ~0.4 mm/yr since Mid-Pleistocene was measured on the La Rinconada Fault Zone (LRFZ), which together with similarly low published slip rates on other regional faults is explained through nearly uniformly distributed …

Present-day and late Quaternary crustal deformation along the southern Dead Sea Fault System, Jordan
… between short-term crustal deformation rates (decadal time scales) and long-term fault slip rates (Holocene to late Pleistocene time scales). This study investigates fault kinematics along the southern Dead Sea fault using tectonic geodesy and late Quaternary slip estimates. The Dead Sea …

Characterizing the deformation history of the southern Mina Deflection: field and structural studies in the Huntoon Mountains, California-Nevada
… test whether present-day GPS predicted sinistral slip rates are the same as geologic slip rates in the southern MD, and (b) determine the kinematics of fault slip is transfer through the MD. The HMA exposes primarily Miocene andesitic-dacitic volcanic rocks overlain by the 12.114 ± 0.006 Ma …

Multidisciplinary investigations of the Chaman strike-slip fault along the western Indo-Asian collision boundary, Pakistan
The Chaman left-lateral strike-slip fault bounds the collision zone between Indian and Eurasian plates at the western end of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen and connects the Makran subduction zone to the Himalayan convergence zone. This western collision boundary received extensive magmatism as …

Fibre-optic borehole observations and numerical modelling of complex ice-sheet thermodynamics

Deformation, erosion and sedimentation in collisional orogens : case studies from eastern Tibet and southwestern China
… around the eastern Himalayan syntaxis and integrates geologic mapping, slip-rate estimates, remote sensing, seismicity and geodesy. Fault slip rates are inferred by modeling the elastic deformation near major faults and the motions of a small number of crustal blocks.

Multi-timescale mechanics of an active low-angle normal fault
… in moderately-to-highly extended regions. Slip on these high-offset low-angle normal faults remains perplexing due to their apparent misorientation relative to Andersonian principal stress directions. Classic fault mechanical theory predicts that normal faults should frictionally lock up …

Spatiotemporal Slip Rate Variations Along Surprise Valley Fault in Relation to Pleistocene Pluvial Lakes
