  • Long-Term Fault Slip Rates, Distributed Deformation Rates, and Forecast Of
    1 Long-term fault slip rates, distributed deformation rates, and forecast of seismicity 2 in the western United States from joint fitting of community geologic, geodetic, 3 and stress-direction datasets 4 Peter Bird 5 Department of Earth and Space Sciences 6 University of California 7 Los Angeles, CA 90095-1567 8 [email protected] 9 Second revision of 2009.07.08 for J. Geophys. Res. (Solid Earth) 10 ABSTRACT. The long-term-average velocity field of the western United States is computed 11 with a kinematic finite-element code. Community datasets include fault traces, geologic offset 12 rates, geodetic velocities, principal stress directions, and Euler poles. There is an irreducible 13 minimum amount of distributed permanent deformation, which accommodates 1/3 of Pacific- 14 North America relative motion in California. Much of this may be due to slip on faults not 15 included in the model. All datasets are fit at a common RMS level of 1.8 datum standard 16 deviations. Experiments with alternate weights, fault sets, and Euler poles define a suite of 17 acceptable community models. In pseudo-prospective tests, fault offset rates are compared to 18 126 additional published rates not used in the computation: 44% are consistent; another 48% 19 have discrepancies under 1 mm/a, and 8% have larger discrepancies. Updated models are then 20 computed. Novel predictions include: dextral slip at 2~3 mm/a in the Brothers fault zone, two 21 alternative solutions for the Mendocino triple junction, slower slip on some trains of the San 22 Andreas fault than in recent hazard models, and clockwise rotation of some domains in the 23 Eastern California shear zone.

  • Fault Scaling Relationships Depend on the Average Fault Slip Rate
    Manuscript Click here to download Manuscript RL+SR_2MW_r16.tex 1 Fault Scaling Relationships Depend on the 2 Average Fault Slip Rate 3 John G. Anderson, Glenn P. Biasi, Steven G. Wes- 4 nousky 5 Abstract 6 This study addresses whether knowing the slip rate on a fault improves es- 7 timates of magnitude (MW ) of shallow, continental surface-rupturing earth- 8 quakes. Based on 43 earthquakes from the database of Wells and Coppersmith 9 (1994), Anderson et al. (1996) previously suggested that estimates of MW from 10 rupture length (LE)areimprovedbyincorporatingthesliprateofthefault 11 (SF ). We re-evaluate this relationship with an expanded database of 80 events, 12 that includes 57 strike-slip, 12 reverse, and 11 normal faulting events. When the 13 data are subdivided by fault mechanism, magnitude predictions from rupture 14 length are improved for strike-slip faults when slip rate is included, but not for 15 reverse or normal faults. Whether or not the slip rate term is present, a linear 16 model with M log L over all rupture lengths implies that the stress drop W ⇠ E 17 depends on rupture length - an observation that is not supported by teleseismic 18 observations. We consider two other models, including one we prefer because it 19 has constant stress drop over the entire range of LE for any constant value of 20 SF and fits the data as well as the linear model. The dependence on slip rate for 21 strike-slip faults is a persistent feature of all considered models. The observed 22 dependence on SF supports the conclusion that for strike-slip faults of a given 23 length, the static stress drop, on average, tends to decrease as the fault slip rate 24 increases.

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.

  • Southland Developers Learn to Coexist with Quake Faults
    Southland developers learn to coexist with quake faults A long crack splits the sidewalk at 6.6-acre Discovery Well Park in Huntington Beach, located atop the Newport-Inglewood fault. Officials knew the fault would be an issue when they began drawing up plans that would bring thousands of new residents to the city. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times) By Rosanna Xia Over the last 20 years, the plateau atop Signal Hill has been transformed from a gritty industrial zone into an upscale neighborhood of homes, parks and hiking trails. Where hundreds of oil wells once stood, joggers and photographers navigate popular walkways and trails that meander around gated communities with dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean and the L.A. Basin. The layout of Signal Hill was not dictated simply by aesthetics. The city and developers created this landscaping to protect residents from a danger hidden just below the surface: the Newport- Inglewood earthquake fault. The fault, responsible for one of the most destructive earthquakes in Southern California history, snakes through the hill north of the Long Beach Harbor. In accordance with state law, homes were carefully built around the fault, and parks and trails buffered areas where the ground could split in two. Kathy Field takes a sunset walk with her dogs along a Signal Hill walking trail. The city and developers carefully designed landscaping to keep homes away from the Newport-Inglewood earthquake fault. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times) As California this year embarks on a major campaign to better identify earthquake faults across the state, Signal Hill and other communities along the Newport-Inglewood fault offer lessons on how to allow for new development.

By Rong-Gong Lin II, Rosanna Xia and Doug Smith 7:02 PM PST, January 8, 2014 New state geological maps released Wednesday show several major developments advertisement planned in Hollywood are much closer to an active earthquake fault than Los Angeles city officials initially said. The maps chart the course of the Hollywood fault, which runs from Atwater Village and Los Feliz, through central Hollywood and west along the Sunset Strip. The state accelerated completion of the maps last fall amid controversy over the Los Angeles City Council approving a skyscraper development on or near the fault. Interactive map: Do you live or work in the Hollywood fault zone? The maps create a zone of generally 500 feet on both sides of the fault, and state law requires any new development within the zone to receive extensive underground seismic testing to determine whether the fault runs under it.
