Is there a discrepancy between geological and geodetic slip rates along the San Andreas Fault System?
Previous inversions for slip rate along the San Andreas Fault System (SAFS), based on elastic half-space models, show a discrepancy between the geologic and geodetic slip rates along a few major fault segments. In this study, we use an earthquake cycle model representing an elastic plate over a viscoelastic half-space to demonstrate that there is no significant discrepancy between long-term geo...
متن کاملVertical movements of frost mounds in subarctic permafrost regions analyzed using geodetic survey and satellite interferometry
Permafrost-affected soils cover about 40–45 % of Canada. The environment in such areas, especially those located within the discontinuous permafrost zone, has been impacted more than any other by recorded climatic changes. A number of changes, such as surface subsidence and the degradation of frost mounds due to permafrost thawing, have already been observed at many locations. We surveyed three...

متن کاملA Strong Ground Motion Catalogue of Selected Records for Shallow Crustal, Near Field Earthquakes in Iran
Understanding strong ground motions in the near-fault areas is important for seismic risk assessment in densely populated areas. In the past, lack of information on strong ground motion for large and moderate earthquakes led to the use of mainly far field large and moderate earthquake records in equations for calculation of the strong ground motion parameters. In this article, we collected and ...
متن کاملSoils from Five Geological Regions Of
Mineralogical studies for the <~2 ~ fractions are presented for seventeen soil profiles and two surface horizon samples, which represent eight soil types and five geological regions in the state. There was no evidence of clay mineral formation in the upper 6 feet or more of soil. X-ray diffraction data from the Lufkin, Ruston anr Katy soils suggested some decomposition of montmorillonite and ka...
