The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors, and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the U.S. Government. 1 Mapping the 3D Geometry of Active Faults in Southern California Abstract Accurate assessment of the seismic hazard in southern California requires an accurate and complete description of the active faults in three dimensions. Dynamic rupture behavior, realistic rupture scenarios, fault segmentation, and the accurate prediction of fault interactions and strong ground motion all strongly depend on the location, sense of slip, and 3D geometry of these active fault surfaces. Comprehensive and improved catalogs of relocated earthquakes for southern California are now available for detailed analysis. These catalogs comprise over 500,000 revised earthquake hypocenters, and nearly 200,000 well-determined earthquake focal mechanisms since 1981. These extensive catalogs need to be carefully examined and analyzed, not only for the accuracy and resolution of the earthquake hypocenters, but also for kinematic consistency of the spatial pattern of fault slip and the orientation of 3D fault surfaces at seismogenic depths.

  • Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States
    Jump to Navigation Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States As of January 12, 2017, the USGS maintains a limited number of metadata fields that characterize the Quaternary faults and folds of the United States. For the most up-to-date information, please refer to the interactive fault map. Santa Ynez fault zone, Pacifico section (Class A) No. 87a Last Review Date: 2000-08-01 citation for this record: Treiman, J.A., compiler, 2000, Fault number 87a, Santa Ynez fault zone, Pacifico section, in Quaternary fault and fold database of the United States: U.S. Geological Survey website, https://earthquakes.usgs.gov/hazards/qfaults, accessed 12/14/2020 03:14 PM. Synopsis General: Other than the basic geologic map location from Dibblee (1950 #5977; 1966 #5978) and a few other local studies, very little is known about most of this fault zone. Paleoseismic studies have been done in only two localities--the Alegria Canyon site along the Santa Ynez, South Branch section [87c] and the Rancho San Marcos site near the assigned section boundary between the Santa Ynez, Western section [87b] and Santa Ynez, Eastern sections [87d]. Although the latter study site, demonstrating Holocene displacement, is tentatively placed in the Santa Ynez, Eastern section [87d], the majority of this section (especially in Ventura County) is very poorly studied with respect to recency of activity. The South Branch is a little better known as a result of investigations in the late 1970's and early 1980's for a proposed Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility (Envicom, 1978 #5981; Yerkes and others, 1980 #5993; Rice and others, 1981 #5986) as well as an earlier study cited by Hart (1978 #5983).

Recent studies have provided evidence for large earthquakes in the Western Transverse Ranges of California, USA. However, the diverse set of conicting structural models for this region highlights the lack of understanding of the subsurface geometry of faults. A more robust structural model is required to assess the seismic hazard of the Western Transverse Ranges. Toward this goal, we developed a forward structural model using Trishear in MOVE ® to match the rst-order structure of the Western Transverse Ranges, as inferred from surface geology, subsurface well control, and seismic stratigraphy. We incorporated the full range of geologic observations, including vertical motions from uplifted uvial and marine terraces, as constraints on our kinematic forward modeling. Using fault-related folding methods, we predicted the geometry and sense of slip of the major faults at depth, and we used these structures to model the evolution of the Western Transverse Ranges since the late Pliocene.

  • Final EIR 4.4 Geology and Soils
    Final EIR 4.4 Geology and Soils 4.4 GEOLOGY AND SOILS This section describes the potential geological resources impacts that could result from construction of the City Fire Station 10. 4.4.1 Existing Setting Goleta General Plan/Local Coastal Land Use Plan Based on the Goleta General Plan/Local Land Use Plan, Safety Element (City of Goleta 2016), and the Goleta General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan, Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) (City of Goleta 2006), the Project site is not underlain by geologic hazards, including fault zones, compressible soils, landslides, or radon-emitting soils. Project Site Setting Regional The Project site is located in the western portion of the City of Goleta, which occupies a portion of the eight‐mile long and three‐mile wide, flat alluvial plain known as the Goleta Valley (City of Goleta 2006). The Goleta Valley is a broad, flat alluvial plain bordered on the south by bluffs along the Pacific coastline, and on the north by foothills and terraces of the Santa Ynez Mountain Range. The valley generally slopes gently toward the Goleta and Devereux sloughs. Project Site A Project-specific geotechnical investigation by Leighton Consulting, Inc. (2017, Appendix E) identified that the Project site is underlain by undocumented fill and Pleistocene-age marine terrace deposits, to a depth of 56 feet below ground surface. Approximately 5 feet of undocumented fill material, consisting primarily of silty sand with gravel, blankets the Project site. However, the fill may locally be as deep as 7 to 10 feet in the vicinity of former underground storage tanks associated with a former service station.

  • Appendix B—Geologic-Slip-Rate Data and Geologic Deformation Model
    Appendix B—Geologic-Slip-Rate Data and Geologic Deformation Model By Timothy E. Dawson,1 and Ray J. Weldon, II2 Introduction This report documents the development of the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, version 3, (UCERF3) geologic deformation model (referred hereafter as DM3.1). Although model DM3.1 can be viewed as an update to the UCERF2 deformation model (Wills and others, 2008), it also represents a departure from UCERF2 in terms of the approach used in the development and ultimate purpose. The UCERF2 deformation model was primarily a geological model but also informally incorporated geodetic observations designed to match the total plate rate as defined by the NUVEL-1A model of DeMets and others (1994), as well as specific regionally observed geodetic rates for a kinematically and internally consistent deformation model (Wills and others, 2008). Although this approach served UCERF2 well, it was recognized that the wealth of geodetic observations and geodesy-based modeling approaches were underutilized in UCERF2 and that geodesy-based deformation models represented an approach that could be applied in UCERF3 as an alternative, or in conjunction with, a geology- based deformation model. The current Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities (WGCEP) decided to explore a range of different deformation models including several types of geodesy-based models, as well as a geologically based deformation model. However, because the UCERF2 deformation model integrated geologic and geodetic data with best-estimate rates developed through a consensus process over several WGCEPs (1995, 1999, 2002, 2008) and the National Seismic Hazard Map (NSHM) (for example, Petersen and others, 1996), it became clear that a simple update of the UCERF2 deformation model would not produce a model independent of the geodetic models.
