This book was released on 2009 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Panamint Valley fault zone (PVFZ) is one of the primary structures accommodating right lateral shear across the Eastern California Shear Zone. Current slip-rate estimates are either long-term estimates based on total offset of the system and bounds on the initiation of fault slip, or estimates that rely on undated alluvial deposits. Using field surveys and high-resolution airborne LiDAR digital topography, I utilize displaced alluvial deposits at two localities, Happy Canyon and Manly Peak Canyon, to provide new slip-rate estimates along the PVFZ. Chronologic control is provided by a newly developed chronosequence of soils in Panamint Valley, radiocarbon dating of lacustrine tufa associated with shoreline deposits, and terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide (10Be) dating of alluvial fan surfaces. At Manly Peak Canyon, debris flow levees offset 26.5 " 3.8 m with a maximum surface age of 12.5 " 1.4 ka yield a minimum extension rate of 2.1 " 0.5 mm/yr. At Happy Canyon, displaced alluvial markers demonstrate that slip along northeast-striking fault strands in the right-stepping portion of the fault zone is purely dip-slip with no lateral component. Here, an alluvial fan complex cut by a series of normal faults with total extension of 56.0 " 10.3 m has surface age estimates from a calibrated soil chronofunction ranging from ~16 - 40 ka, yielding a minimum extension rate of 2.7 " 1.5 mm/yr. Additionally, a 20.7 " 5.2 ka surface at Happy Canyon is cut by a fault scarp with 68.1 " 2.0 m of vertical offset, which yields a preliminary Late Pleistocene minimum throw rate of 3.3 " 0.7 mm/yr. Results from this thesis provide the only two slip-rate estimates along the PVFZ with chronologic control, and reveal along-strike variations in horizontal displacement direction that appear coordinated with increased subsidence in the northern part of the valley.

Download or read book Late Pleistocene Slip Rate for the Western Pinto Mountain Fault Morongo Valley Southern California written by Katherine Gabriel and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The San Gorgonio Pass (SGP) region of the San Andreas fault (SAF) system in southern California is complicated by overlapping, active strands and its intersection with prominent, secondary structures such as the Pinto Mountain fault (PMF). Recent work in this area proposes that strain may be transferred from the Mission Creek strand of the SAF to the Eastern California Shear Zone (ECSZ), at least partly via the PMF. Like the better known Garlock fault, the PMF is a major east-west trending left-lateral transverse fault that intersects the Mission Creek strand of the SAF in the eastern SGP area. Geodetic and geologic slip rates reported for the PMF vary from 1 to 12.5 mm/yr and are poorly constrained because of a lack of geologic data. This report describes a geologic slip rate from faulted alluvium in Big Morongo Canyon in Morongo Valley, California. A best-constrained strath contact between late Pleistocene alluvium (Qoa) and underlying bedrock (ggm) is offset in a left-lateral sense a total of 228 – 303 m. I obtained cosmogenic 10Be exposure ages of six monzo-granite boulders on the surface of Qoa. Assuming zero-erosion rate, boulder ages range from ~63 ka to ~88 ka. I believe that surface deflation and erosion has occurred, and therefore choose a weighted average of 86.9 +/- 4.5 ka as the preferred age for the surface of Qoa. I calculate a preferred slip rate of 3.0 +0.6/-0.4 mm/yr for western PMF system for the last ~87 ka. A fault scarp on one of the secondary splays in latest Pleistocene to Holocene alluvium (Qa) indicates that the western PMF has been active during the last

This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The San Jacinto right-lateral strike-slip fault zone is crucial for understanding plate-boundary dynamics, regional slip partitioning, and seismic hazards within the San Andreas fault system of southern California, yet its age of initiation and long-term average slip rate are controversial. This synthesis of prior and new detailed studies in the western Salton Trough documents initiation of structural segments of the San Jacinto fault zone at or slightly before the 1.07 Ma base of the Jaramillo subchron. In Special Paper 475, five new estimates of displacement are developed using offset successions of crystalline rocks; distinctive marker beds in the late Cenozoic basin fill; analysis of strike-slip-related fault-bend folds; quantification of strain in folds at the tips of dextral faults; and gravity, magnetic, and geomorphic data sets."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Treatise on Geomorphology written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-02-27 with total page 6392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changing focus and approach of geomorphic research suggests that the time is opportune for a summary of the state of discipline. The number of peer-reviewed papers published in geomorphic journals has grown steadily for more than two decades and, more importantly, the diversity of authors with respect to geographic location and disciplinary background (geography, geology, ecology, civil engineering, computer science, geographic information science, and others) has expanded dramatically. As more good minds are drawn to geomorphology, and the breadth of the peer-reviewed literature grows, an effective summary of contemporary geomorphic knowledge becomes increasingly difficult. The fourteen volumes of this Treatise on Geomorphology will provide an important reference for users from undergraduate students looking for term paper topics, to graduate students starting a literature review for their thesis work, and professionals seeking a concise summary of a particular topic. Information on the historical development of diverse topics within geomorphology provides context for ongoing research; discussion of research strategies, equipment, and field methods, laboratory experiments, and numerical simulations reflect the multiple approaches to understanding Earth’s surfaces; and summaries of outstanding research questions highlight future challenges and suggest productive new avenues for research. Our future ability to adapt to geomorphic changes in the critical zone very much hinges upon how well landform scientists comprehend the dynamics of Earth’s diverse surfaces. This Treatise on Geomorphology provides a useful synthesis of the state of the discipline, as well as highlighting productive research directions, that Educators and students/researchers will find useful. Geomorphology has advanced greatly in the last 10 years to become a very interdisciplinary field. Undergraduate students looking for term paper topics, to graduate students starting a literature review for their thesis work, and professionals seeking a concise summary of a particular topic will find the answers they need in this broad reference work which has been designed and written to accommodate their diverse backgrounds and levels of understanding Editor-in-Chief, Prof. J. F. Shroder of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, is past president of the QG&G section of the Geological Society of America and present Trustee of the GSA Foundation, while being well respected in the geomorphology research community and having won numerous awards in the field. A host of noted international geomorphologists have contributed state-of-the-art chapters to the work. Readers can be guaranteed that every chapter in this extensive work has been critically reviewed for consistency and accuracy by the World expert Volume Editors and by the Editor-in-Chief himself No other reference work exists in the area of Geomorphology that offers the breadth and depth of information contained in this 14-volume masterpiece. From the foundations and history of geomorphology through to geomorphological innovations and computer modelling, and the past and future states of landform science, no "stone" has been left unturned!
