Geologic Mapping along the Benton Spring Fault, Nevada: Dextrally-offset Tuff-filled Paleovalleys in the Central Walker Lane
… the U.S. Cordillera. Within the Cordillera, the Walker Lane, characterized by active intracontinental faults, straddles the western edge of the Basin and Range Province and the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada. In the Gabbs Valley Range, central Nevada, eastern Central Walker Lane, I combine new …

Spatial and Temporal Characterization of the Petrified Springs Fault, Central Walker Lane, Nevada: Documenting Middle Miocene Dextral Slip
<p>The Central Walker Lane, NV is an active dextral shear zone superimposed on the western boundary of the Basin and Range extensional province. Approximately 25% of dextral shear along the Pacific-North American plate boundary accommodated in the Walker Lane, a NW-striking, intracontinental …

Active Faulting in the Northern Walker Lane and Post-Earthquake Reconnaissance in the Central Walker Lane, Nevada and Eastern California
The Walker Lane is a region of diverse tectonic activity situated along the Pacific-North American plate boundary. Unmapped and under characterized faults within the northern Walker Lane are associated with large uncertainties in the location and frequency of potential earthquakes in the greater …

Contributions to the Neotectonics of the central and northern Walker Lane
The Walker Lane is a well-known intraplate shear zone located east of the Sierra Nevada that accommodates a significant portion of the North American - Pacific Plate relative transform motion. It its defined by a broad zone of discontinuous active strike-slip and normal faulting that sit within a …

Characterization of a blind geothermal prospect through LiDAR analysis and shallow temperature survey, Gabbs Valley, Nye and Mineral Co., NV
… Valley geothermal prospect is located in west-central Nevada within the Basin and Range province at the transition between NW directed dextral shear in the Walker Lane and WNW-ESE extension in the Basin and Range. The tectonics at the prospect site were investigated using Quaternary fault …
