InSAR analysis of the 2008 Reno-Mogul earthquake swarm: Evidence for westward migration of Walker Lane style dextral faulting
[1] Analysis and modeling of InSAR data covering the 2008 Reno-Mogul M 4.7 earthquake swarm indicate that the main event was produced by slip on a previously unrecognized strike-slip fault in the Reno basin. Deformation of 0.5– 2.5 cm in radar line-of-sight was produced by the main event and post-seismic slip over an area of more than 150 km. This earthquake is one of the smallest magnitude eve...
متن کاملIn Situ Stress and Active Faulting in Oklahoma
Appreciable injection-induced seismicity has been occurring in northcentral Oklahoma since 2009. To better understand these earthquakes, we have compiled new information on the state of stress in the state to compare it with both mapped faults and faults inferred from earthquake epicenters and focal plane mechanisms. Seventy-five new in situ stress orientations are available from wellbores thro...
متن کاملVelocity variations in the uppermost mantle beneath the southern Sierra Nevada and Walker Lane
[1] We model Pn waveforms from two earthquakes in the southwestern United States (Mammoth Lakes, California, and western Nevada) to determine a velocity model of the crustal and mantle structure beneath the southern Sierra Nevada and Walker Lane. We derive a one-dimensional velocity model that includes a smooth crust-mantle transition east of Death Valley and extending south into the eastern Mo...
متن کاملGeodetic observation of contemporary deformation in the northern Walker Lane: 1. Semipermanent GPS strategy
As of October 2005, the semipermanent Global Positioning System (GPS) network called MAGNET (Mobile Array of GPS for Nevada Transtension) included 60 stations and spanned 160 km (N-S) × 260 km (E-W) across the northern Walker Lane and central Nevada seismic belt. MAGNET was designed as a cheaper, higher-density alternative to permanent networks in order to deliver high-accuracy velocities more ...
متن کاملBookshelf faulting in Nicaragua
Oblique subduction at a high rate of convergence along much of the Middle America Trench results in northwest-directed trench-parallel block motion. Accommodation of this motion along northwest-striking dextral strike-slip faults has been postulated; however, in Nicaragua such faults are not well developed. We suggest instead that this motion is accommodated by bookshelf faulting that includes ...
