Geomorphic Expression of Fault Activity at the Surface and Shallow Subsurface
Southern California is one of the most seismically active location in North America. The San Andreas transform boundary and the numerous associated fault zones cross cut the area and its infrastructure. Understanding how and when these systems move and rupture is importance to understanding the hazards of living in the area.
