Surface slip during large Owens Valley earthquakes
2016年1月8日 · Regional overview of the Owens Valley fault including scarps mapped from EarthScope lidar. The mapped extent of the Keough section of the Sierra Nevada frontal fault (SNFF) and the most recent surface rupture of the White …
Observations on normal-fault scarp morphology and fault system ...
2016年6月1日 · Mapping of normal faults cutting the Bishop Tuff in the Volcanic Tableland, northern Owens Valley, California, using side-looking airborne radar data, low-altitude aerial photographs, airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data, and standard field mapping yields insights into fault scarp development, fault system evolution, and timing.
The Owens Valley fault is a normal oblique right-lateral fault that is bounded to the west by the Sierra Nevada frontal fault system and to the east by the White-Inyo fault zones. Understanding the seismogenic history on the Owens Valley fault is critical for evaluating strain partitioning within Owens Valley and the
M 7.4 - The 1872 Owens Valley, California Earthquake
The largest amount of surface deformation was observed between the towns of Lone Pine and Independence, but fault scarps formed along a length of at least 160 km from Haiwee Reservoir, south of Olancha, to Big Pine; cracks formed in the ground as far north as Bishop.
Structure and late quaternary activity of the northern Owens valley ...
1989年12月1日 · The Fish Springs fault is the only west-side-up fault with a prominent scarp in the alluvium between Poverty Hills and Crater Mountain, and it is most likely the primary element in the Owens valley fault zone between those two topographic highs.
Trenching focused on a prominent north-striking scarp, termed the Sage Flat fault, expressed in late Pleistocene alluvial fans east of Haiwee reservoir. Surficial mapping and ground-based lidar surveying suggest that this fault accommodates east-down normal motion, and possibly a similar amount of dextral slip.

Triple Shock in Owens Valley - University of California, Berkeley
2009年10月5日 · The Owens Valley east of the crest of the Sierra Nevada was shaken last week by three moderate sized earthquakes within 48 hours, and many smaller ones. The strongest shock had a magnitude of 5.2 and occurred Friday (October 2) in the afternoon. The other two had magnitudes of 5.0 and 4.9.
