Creator:

Tréhu, Anne M., Scheidhauer, Maren, Rohr, Kristin M. M., Tikoff, Basil, Walton, Maureen A. L., Gulick, Sean P. S., and Roland, Emily C.

Abstract:

The Queen Charlotte Fault (QCF) is a major strike-slip fault that forms the boundary between the Pacific and North American plates from 51° to 58° N. Near 53.2° N, the angle of oblique convergence predicted by the Mid-Ocean Ridge VELocity (MORVEL) interplate pole of rotation decreases from >15° in the...
