The 2014 Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities
(WGCEP14) present the time-independent component of the Uniform California
Earthquake Rupture Forecast, Version 3 (UCERF3), which provides authoritative
estimates of the magnitude, location, and time-averaged frequency of potentially
damaging earthquakes in California. The primary achievements have been to relax
fault segmentation and...
Appropriate micropropagation regimes were developed for four Pyrus species (P.
amygdaliformis Vill., P. betulaefolia Bunge, P. calleryana Dcne., and P. communis L.)
and Cydonia oblonga L. Shoot multiplication was optimal at 10 or 20μM N⁶⁻
benzyladenine (BA) and high light intensity (135μm⁻²s⁻1). Root formation of the
Pyrus species was stimulated...
Studies of active fault zones have flourished with the availability of high-resolution topographic data, particularly where airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) and structure from motion (SfM) data sets provide a means to remotely analyze submeter-scale fault geomorphology. To determine surface offset at a point along a strike-slip earthquake rupture,...
