Abstract:: Analysis of multichannel seismic reflection profiles reveals that listric normal faulting is widespread on the northern Oregon and Washington continental shelf and upper slope, suggesting E-W extension in this region. Fault activity began in the late Miocene and, in some cases, has continued into the Holocene. Most listric faults sole...

Abstract:: The upper reach of the Hutuo River flows along the Xin-Ding basin and cuts a transverse drainage through Xizhou Mountain and Taihang Range into the North China Plain. Previous studies showed that the Xin-Ding basin was occupied by a lake during the Early-Middle Pleistocene. However, the timing of the paleolake...

Abstract:: The way of slip transformation and strain partitioning at the eastern termination of the Kunlun fault system remains unclear, and the question of whether this fault system is an important part for lateral extrusion of Tibetan crust is debatable. The Tazang fault is regarded as the easternmost continuation of the...

Abstract:: Although much work has been done on active tectonics of eastern Tibet, little is known about the Longriba fault zone and its role in strain partitioning. Whether its two sub-parallel strands (Longriqu and Maoergai faults) can rupture simultaneously in a large earthquake remains unknown. We conducted trenching combined with the...

Creator:: Yeats, Robert S.
Abstract:: In this expanded new edition of Living with Earthquakes, Robert Yeats, a leading authority on earthquakes in California and the Pacific Northwest, describes the threat posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a great earthquake fault which runs for hundreds of miles offshore from British Columbia to northern California. New research...

Creator:: Myers, Daniel J., Nabelek, John L., and Yeats, Robert S.
Abstract:: The East and West Coyote Hills in the eastern Los Angeles Basin are the surface expression of uplift accompanying blind reverse faulting. Folded Quaternary strata indicate that the hills are growing and that the faults underlying them are active. Detailed subsurface mapping in the East Coyote Oil Field shows that...

Creator:: Goldfinger, Chris, Kulm, LaVerne D., Yeats, Robert S., McNeill, Lisa, and Hummon, Cheryl
Abstract:: At least nine WNW trending left-lateral strike-slip faults have been mapped on the Oregon-Washington continental margin using sidescan sonar, seismic reflection, and bathymetric data, augmented by submersible observations. The faults range in length from 33 to 115 km and cross much of the continental slop. Five faults offset both the...
