This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, we investigate and develop the optimal data processing procedures necessary to recover Green's functions for body waves propagating among a network of borehole seismometers near Parkfield, CA. Applying these procedures, we detect P-waves propagating among these stations, which allows us to produce a first-order crustal velocity model for the San Andreas Fault in the Parkfield region. We also discuss under what conditions body wave phenomena such as reflections and mode conversions (P to S) may be observed, as further observing these would provide a dramatic improvement in our ability to characterize seismic velocity structures. Finally, we discuss the potential of seismic interferometry to produce time-lapse body wave characterizations of the San Andreas Fault, in which properties of the fault can be seen to change in time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnitude 8 is the archetypal natural disaster defined. To understand the cataclysmic earthquake that will tear California apart one day, Philip L. Fradkin has written a dramatic history of earthquakes and an eloquent guide to the San Andreas Fault, the world's best-known tectonic landscape. The author includes vivid stories of earthquakes elsewhere: in New England, the central Mississippi River Valley, New York City, Europe, and the Far East. Always, he combines human and natural drama to place the reader at the epicenter of the most instantaneous and unpredictable of all the Earth's phenomena. Following the San Andreas Fault from Cape Mecino to Mexico--canoeing the fault line in northern California and walking underground through the Hollywood fault--noted environmental historian Philip L. Fradkin reclaims the human dimensions of earthquakes from the science-dominated accounts.

Download or read book The San Andreas Fault Zone written by William A. Szary and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The San Andreas Fault Zone covers almost the entire length of western California. Some sections are simple while others are more complex extending from the Gulf of California through the Salton Trough into the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains, through the Carrizo Plain into Parkfield, on into the San Francisco Bay, Point Reyes, and ending in the Mendocino Triple Junction. This book attempts to characterize the geologic structure, geophysics, and stratigraphy on both sides of the fault. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the setting of the San Andreas Fault System. Chapter 2 discusses the Salton Sea Trough, the Gulf of California, and the Imperial Valley. Chapter 3 presents the fault zone through the Transverse Ranges, mainly consisting of the San Gabriel and the San Bernardino Mountains. Chapter 4 addresses the creeping segment of the Carrizo Plain, Cholame, and Parkfield. Chapter 5 focuses on the San Andreas-Calaveras Fault junction along the San Benito segment. Chapter 6 discusses the South San Francisco Bay area, mainly in Santa Clara County before addressing the San Francisco Bay in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 focuses on the Point Reyes Peninsula, providing some details on the stratigraphy and structure on the peninsula. Chapter 9 closes out with a seismic review of the Mendocino Triple Junction and its interactions with the Pacific, Gorda, and North American plates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental scientific issue addressed in this proposal, obtaining an improved understanding of the physical and chemical processes responsible for earthquakes along major fault zones, is clearly of global scientific interest. By sampling the San Andreas fault zone and making direct measurements of fault zone properties to 4.0 km at Parkfield they will be studying an active plate-boundary fault at a depth where aseismic creep and small earthquakes occur and where a number of the scientific questions associated with deeper fault zone drilling can begin to be addressed. Also, the technological challenges associated with drilling, coring, downhole measurements and borehole instrumentation that may eventually have to be faced in deeper drilling can first be addressed at moderate depth and temperature in the Parkfield hole. Throughout the planning process leading to the development of this proposal they have invited participation by scientists from around the world. As a result, the workshops and meetings they have held for this project have involved about 350 scientists and engineers from about a dozen countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of the ten chapters in this volume critically examine the geologic evidence that constrains timing and magnitude of movement on various faults of the San Andreas system, and they develop and discuss paleogeologic reconstructions based on these constraints. The volume offers new insight into the evolution of the San Andreas fault system,
