Localized and distributed creep along the southern San Andreas Fault
We investigate the spatial pattern of surface creep and off-fault deformation along the southern segment of the San Andreas Fault using a combination of multiple interferometric synthetic aperture radar viewing geometries and survey-mode GPS occupations of a dense array crossing the fault. Radar observations from Envisat during the period 2003–2010 were used to separate the pattern of horizonta...
متن کاملPlate Boundary Segmentation by Stress Directions: Southern San Andreas fault, California
We propose a new method for defining segmentation of plate boundaries and faults, based on the directions of the stress tensor. Estimates for these directions are obtained by minimizing the average misfit between the theoretical and observed slip directions on fault planes of earthquake focal mechanisms. The misfit, f, for an individual earthquake is the parameter we use for defining the segmen...
متن کاملPaleoseismic Event Dating and the Conditional Probability of Large Earthquakes on the Southern San Andreas Fault, California
We introduce a quantitative approach to paleoearthquake dating and apply it to paleoseismic data from the Wrightwood and Pallett Creek sites on the southern San Andreas fault. We illustrate how stratigraphic ordering, sedimentological, and historical data can be used quantitatively in the process of estimating earthquake ages. Calibrated radiocarbon age distributions are used directly from laye...
متن کاملA Quantitative Assessment of DInSAR Measurements of Interseismic Deformation: The Southern San Andreas Fault Case Study
We investigate the capabilities and limitations of the Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) techniques, in particular of the Small BAseline Subset (SBAS) approach, to measure surface deformation in active seismogenetic areas. The DInSAR analysis of low-amplitude, long-wavelength deformation, such as that due to interseismic strain accumulation, is limited by intrinsic ...
متن کامل33 Seismic Imaging of the San Andreas Fault in Northern California using Receiver Functions
Scattering of teleseismic body waves is conventionally used to investigate crustal and mantle structure using the so-called “receiver function” technique. This approach makes use of the fact that teleseismic events have nearvertical incidence upon horizontally layered structure, ensuring minimum phase, and assumes that source-time functions can be approximated by energy on the P component of mo...
