Transient channel incision along Bolinas Ridge, California: Evidence for differential rock uplift adjacent to the San Andreas fault

[1] The rates and spatial distribution of active deformation provide critical constraints on the geodynamics of deforming lithosphere, yet such data are often difficult to acquire in eroding landscapes where poor preservation of geomorphic or stratigraphic markers hinders strain reconstruction. Recent advances in understanding of the relationship between bedrock channel profile form and erosion...

Slip in the 1857 and earlier large earthquakes along the Carrizo Plain, San Andreas Fault.

The moment magnitude (Mw) 7.9 Fort Tejon earthquake of 1857, with a approximately 350-kilometer-long surface rupture, was the most recent major earthquake along the south-central San Andreas Fault, California. Based on previous measurements of its surface slip distribution, rupture along the approximately 60-kilometer-long Carrizo segment was thought to control the recurrence of 1857-like earth...

Vegetation response to hydrologic and geomorphic factors in an arid region of the Baja California Peninsula

Remotely sensed imageries were used to analyze the response of desert vegetation to physiographic factors and accumulated precipitation in drier and wetter years within a region of >16,500 km(2) sampled with 5,000 random pixels of 30 m. Vegetation development was indexed by the annual maximum values for greenness (SAVI) and canopy water content (NDII). Precipitation was interpolated from the 0....
