متن کاملHow Sensitive Are Fault-Slip Rates in the Los Angeles Basin to Tectonic Boundary Conditions?
Geodetic studies have produced different interpretations of the relative vertical thickening versus escape tectonics occurring within the Los Angeles basin based on calculated horizontal strain rates ranging from 56 10 /yr contraction at N36 E to 85 10 /yr north–south contraction and 60 10 /yr east–west extension. Three-dimensional forward mechanical models of faults in the Los Angeles basin ar...
متن کاملMechanical fault interaction within the Los Angeles Basin: A two-dimensional analysis using mechanical efficiency
[1] Mechanical models examine deformation within eight different structural cross sections proposed by Davis et al. [1989] and Shaw and Suppe [1996] along a northeastsouthwest transect across the Los Angeles Basin, California. Horizontal contraction of the models, constrained by geodetic measurements, yields varying dip-slip rates along frictionally sliding faults within the different cross sec...
متن کاملSpace geodetic determination of spatial variability in relative sea level change, Los Angeles basin
[1] We combine Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR), tide gauge, and continuous GPS measurements to determine the spatial variation in vertical land motion (VLM) along the coast of the Los Angeles basin over the past decade, and to examine the impact of spatially variable VLM on relative sea level trends. By identifying radar scattering targets with long-term coherence we make height...
متن کاملConstraining the kinematics of metropolitan Los Angeles faults with a slip‐partitioning model
Due to the limited resolution at depth of geodetic and other geophysical data, the geometry and the loading rate of the ramp-décollement faults below the metropolitan Los Angeles are poorly understood. Here we complement these data by assuming conservation of motion across the Big Bend of the San Andreas Fault. Using a Bayesian approach, we constrain the geometry of the ramp-décollement system ...
