Book excerpt: This volume is a general geology field guide to the San Andreas Fault in the San Francisco Bay Area. The first section provides a brief overview of the San Andreas Fault in context to regional California geology, the Bay Area, and earthquake history with emphasis of the section of the fault that ruptured in the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. This first section also contains information useful for discussion and making field observations associated with fault-related landforms, landslides and mass-wasting features, and the plant ecology in the study region. The second section contains field trips and recommended hikes on public lands in the Santa Cruz Mountains, along the San Mateo Coast, and at Point Reyes National Seashore. These trips provide access to the San Andreas Fault and associated faults, and to significant rock exposures and landforms in the vicinity. Note that more stops are provided in each of the sections than might be possible to visit in a day. The extra material is intended to provide optional choices to visit in a region with a wealth of natural resources, and to support discussions and provide information about additional field exploration in the Santa Cruz Mountains region. Selected references provide a more technical and exhaustive overview of the fault system and geology in this field area.

Book excerpt: Deformation in Earth's crust accumulates during and in between earthquakes to build Earth's mountain ranges and to produce signatures of geologic deformation preserved in the rock record. As this deformation accumulates through time, rheological properties imparted by the protracted geologic history of Earth's deforming crust control the resultant distribution and magnitude of rock uplift, exhumation, and erosion that conspire to shape the morphology of Earth's surface. This dissertation investigates how the rheological properties of Earth's crust influence the accumulation of this deformation through time, and, conversely, how expressions of time-integrated deformation of Earth's crust may reveal insight into the operant rheological and geophysical properties that are difficult to measure in-situ. To address these questions, I quantify and model deformation, rock uplift, and exhumation surrounding restraining bends in strike-slip fault systems. Deformation that occurs during and in between individual earthquakes is dominantly elastic, but Earth's mountain ranges host geologic structural features, such as faults and folds, that demonstrably record the accrual of inelastic deformation over the course of millions of years. This apparent rheological discrepancy highlights a persistent major challenge in the Earth Science community, which seeks to clarify the connection between individual earthquake cycles and the mountains that they build. Chapter 1 directly addresses this long-standing problem by linking and unifying observations of deformation that span timescales ranging from decades to millions of years. In this contribution, my co-authors and I created a coupled tectono-geomorphic model that predicts rock uplift, exhumation, topographic relief, erosion rates, and horizontal surface velocities surrounding the Santa Cruz Mountains restraining bend (the SCM bend) in the San Andreas fault, near San Francisco, CA, USA. Chapter 1 shows that incremental irrecoverable deformation incurred during dominantly elastic earthquake cycles accumulates to produce the inelastic deformation we observe in the rock record. Results suggest that, during an individual earthquake cycle, the majority of inelastic deformation occurs in between major earthquakes along the San Andreas fault, as opposed to during the earthquakes themselves. The tectonic-geomorphic models in Chapter 1 generally reproduce records of rock uplift, exhumation, and erosion in the Santa Cruz Mountains (SCM), but the distribution of these quantities in the natural SCM setting is far more complex than that captured in these models. In Chapter 2, my co-authors and I combine low-temperature apatite (U-Th)/He thermochronology with 3D geologic reconstructions to quantify the distribution of rock uplift and exhumation throughout the SCM southwest of the San Andreas fault. Results suggest that deformation and uplift have preferentially accumulated in a relatively weak lithotectonic terrane embedded within a complex and heterogeneous transform plate boundary. Chapter 2 shows that the protracted geologic history and resultant lithostratigraphic structure of the crust influence the localization of strain and uplift along the plate boundary as deformation accumulates. Chapters 1 and 2 illustrate that SCM-site-specific distributions of rock uplift and exhumation provide insight into the rheological properties of the crust surrounding the SCM bend. In Chapter 3, I utilize these diagnostic metrics, and use a suite of generalized restraining bend models to infer operant fault frictional strength for restraining bends around the world based on inferred distributions of rock uplift and exhumation in the natural settings. Model results show that deformed and uplifted crust advects into and through restraining bends when fault frictional strength is low, and impounds upwind of the restraining bend when fault frictional strength is high. These results also suggest that the propagation of strike-slip faults from the tips of restraining bends also appears indicative of moderate to high fault frictional strength. This chapter illustrates that geologic observations of deformation may be integral to constraining geophysical parameters, like the frictional strength of faults, that may be challenging to measure directly.
