The main reservoir in the Dixie Valley geothermal field of Nevada is hosted in fractured Jurassic rocks within the hanging wall of the Stillwater fault. Within the Jurassic sequence, at least four major stages of alteration related to the fault system can be identified. The paragenetic sequence from oldest to youngest consists of Stage I) biotite-potassium feldspar veins, and epidote-chlorite-c...

[1] We present a protocol for using paleomagnetic analysis to determine the absolute orientation of core recovered from the SAFOD borehole. Our approach is based on determining the direction of the primary remanent magnetization of a spot core recovered from the Great Valley Sequence during SAFOD Phase 2 and comparing its direction to the expected reference field direction for the Late Cretaceo...

Historical masonry arch bridges which might be vulnerable to natural disasters are important part of the cultural heritage. Natural disasters, especially earthquakes can inflict damage these structural systems. This paper aims investigate a comparison effects near and far-fault ground motions on seismic response under different earthquakes. Kalender bridge is located in Ergani, Turkey selected ...

[1] Data from BARGEN GPS stations around Yucca Mountain (YM) have been independently processed using GIPSY-OASIS and GAMIT/GLOBK. The RMS velocity differences between these solutions is 0.06 mm/yr (east component) and 0.10 mm/yr (north), indicating an ability to resolve tectonic signals >0.3 mm/yr with high confidence. Inversion of GPS station velocities for Eastern California Shear Zone (ECSZ)...

[1] Contrary to other examples, like Death Valley, California, and the Sea of Marmara, Turkey, the Dead Sea-type pull-apart basins form within a narrow transform corridor between strike-slip faults that are less than 10 km apart, much smaller than the crustal thickness of 35 km. In this paper we investigate the role of fault zone width versus thickness and rheology on the mechanics of pull-apar...

Abstract. Transpressional uplift domains of inverted Pliocene–Pleistocene basin fill along the San Andreas fault zone in Coachella Valley, southern California (USA), are characterized by linkage and segmentation deformation partitioning. The Indio Hills wedge-shaped block is located between two boundary strands, to northeast main southwest, which merge southeast. Uplift commenced about or later...
