The Pasadena earthquake (ML ~4.9) occurred on 3 December 1988, at a depth of 16 km. The hypocenters of the earthquake and its aftershocks define a eastnortheast striking, steeply northwest-dipping surface that projects up to the active surficial trace of the Raymond fault. One of the nodal planes of the focal mechanism of the earthquake parallels the Raymond fault with left-lateral strikeslip m...

F L I E S expressing a new eye abnormality (scarp, see below) were observed during the summer of 1960 in a "wild" Cockaponsett stock. A review of environmental conditions showed that the temperature had risen to 30°C on each of several days before the abnormal eyes were detected. Some of the abnormalities resembled certain expressions of known mutants such as Lobe eyes and tumorous head. Lobe e...

PRIME Lab has a multidisciplinary external research program with projects in geomorphology, hydrology, ocean science, planetary science, environmental science and biology. Introduction PRIME Lab is a national AMS facility for measurement of the long lived cosmogenic nuclides Be, C, Al, Cl, Ca, and I [1]. Since its inception in 1991 we have chemically processed over 2000 samples and have measure...

Passive margin escarpments are extensively studied around the world, and understanding their evolution continues to present one of the more compelling interdisciplinary challenges tackled by earth scientists today. Escarpments reflect the morphotectonic development of passive margins and can separate regions with different climatic histories, but the inferred rapid rates of escarpment retreat h...
