Holocene slip rates along the Owens Valley fault, California: Implications for the recent evolution of the Eastern California Shear Zone
One of the largest historical earthquakes in California occurred in 1872 along the Owens Valley fault located along the western margin of the Eastern California Shear Zone. New paleoseismic and optically stimulated luminescence data are the first to bracket the timing of the pre-1872 rupture to between 3.3 6 0.3 and 3.8 6 0.3 ka. These data yield an earthquake recurrence interval between 4100 a...
متن کاملTemporal variations in slip rate of the White Mountain Fault Zone, Eastern California
The evolution of fault slip through time may yield insight into the geodynamics of deforming lithosphere. Precise determination of temporal variations in fault slip is often hindered, however, by a dearth of markers of varying age from which to reconstruct fault slip. Here we determine slip rates across the White Mountain Fault Zone over the past ca. 0.8 Ma from displaced alluvial deposits pres...
متن کاملLate Holocene Sea Temperatures along the Central California Coast
Mussel shells from central California coastal archaeological sites record changes in sea surface temperatures in the past 2000 years, Water temperatures, inferred from oxygen isotopes in the shells, were about 1°C cooler than present and stable between 2000 and 700 yr ago, Between about 700 and 500 yr ago, seasonal variation was greater than present, with extremes above and below historic level...
متن کاملPaleoseismic and Slip-Rate Observations along the Honey Lake Fault Zone, Northeastern California, USA
The Honey Lake fault is a major strike-slip fault in northeastern California that accommodates northwest-directed right-lateral shear in the northern Walker Lane. We reexamine the fault’s paleoseismic history and slip rate by evaluating a natural stream bank exposure of the fault and offset terrace riser. Structural and stratigraphic relations within the modern stream cut, radiocarbon ages, and...
متن کاملRecent and Long-Term Behavior of the Brawley Fault Zone, Imperial Valley, California: An Escalation in Slip Rate?
The Brawley fault zone (BFZ) and the Brawley Seismic Zone constitute the principal transfer zone accommodating strain between the San Andreas and Imperial faults in southernmost California. The BFZ ruptured along with the Imperial fault in the 1940 Mw 6.9 and the 1979 Mw 6.4 earthquakes, although in each case only minor slip apparently occurred on the BFZ; several other episodes of slip and cre...
