Application of three fault growth criteria to the Puente Hills thrust system, Los Angeles, California, USA
Three-dimensional mechanical models are used to evaluate the performance of different fault growth criteria in predicting successive growth of three échelon thrust faults similar to the segments of the Puente Hills thrust system of the Los Angeles basin, California. Four sequential Boundary Element Method models explore the growth of successive échelon faults within the system by simulating sna...
متن کاملFault interactions and large complex earthquakes in the Los Angeles area.
Faults in complex tectonic environments interact in various ways, including triggered rupture of one fault by another, that may increase seismic hazard in the surrounding region. We model static and dynamic fault interactions between the strike-slip and thrust fault systems in southern California. We find that rupture of the Sierra Madre-Cucamonga thrust fault system is unlikely to trigger rupt...
متن کاملA century of oil-field operations and earthquakes in the greater Los Angeles Basin, southern California
Most of the seismicity in the Los Angeles Basin (LA Basin) occurs at depth below the sediments and is caused by transpressional tectonics related to the big bend in the San Andreas fault. However, some of the seismicity could be associated with fluid extraction or injection in oil fields that have been in production for almost a century and cover ~ 17% of the basin. In a recent study, first the...
متن کاملChikungunya Fever in Los Angeles, California
We report the case of a 33-year-old woman returning from Haiti, presenting to our emergency department (ED) with fever, rash and arthralgia. Following a broad workup that included laboratory testing for dengue and malaria, our patient was diagnosed with Chikungunya virus, which was then reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for initiation of infection control. This case dem...
متن کاملLos Angeles , California 90095 - 1594 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA • LOS ANGELES Instability Driven Radial Transport in a Helicon Plasma
Known for their ability to produce high densities at low power, helicon discharges have found many practical uses. However, with light gases it has been found that the plasma density saturates, then falls, as the magnetic field is increased. This can be explained by the onset of a drift-type instability, whose threshold agrees well with linear theory. Measurements of radial and axial particle f...
