@Stef_EQ_Geology @Geo_GIF @SCEC@ramonarrowsmith I know of 2 papers - McEvilly et al. 1967, BSSA and Lienkaemper & Prescott 1989
I can send them to you if you can't find them!
This evening's 4.7 earthquake north of Truckee, CA occurred directly above the northern extension of the Truckee Fault Zone. This major strike-slip fault system (red, my mapping) isn't currently included in any hazard models or the USGS fault & fold database
@neotectonic@mrbrianolson@faultcreeper@_restlessearth oblique sUAS view to NWover the M7.1 trenching area (look for the red mini excavator). Rupture trace starts in front (right) of the truck at the bottom of the view
@neotectonic@faultcreeper@_restlessearth 10 cm/pix hillshade from sfm over M7.1 Ridgecrest rupture. Trenches are evident spanning the rupture zone. Nice right step to the NW (and a shoreline bench). #FaultFriday
