Quick recap from field suvey of yesterdays M5.8 earthquake in NV. no surface rupture observed after several transects across aftershock pattern. Lack of surface cracking in epicentral area. Minor bank failures, lateral spread, and liquefaction features along Walker river.
@lichrend @USGS_Quakes I 💚💙❤️ the Great Sand Dunes too! But this is Borah Peak in Idaho, and the scarp from the 1983 Lost River fault rupture is that little thin white line across the photo. Mountain up valley down (valley mostly down in fact - https://t.co/gioWuITXEj)
Please consider applying - there have been some amazing geologists in this position over the years! including @collett_camille @FaultyAndSalty @nadinegrr@faultjumper
oh and Golden isn't a bad place to spend some time

Ha, looks like the airship hangar and airstrip are built right next to an active fault. Wonder what the fault setbacks for stealth balloons are 😂

Precise, NLL-SSST-coherence earthquake relocations for the 2023 Mw7.8 and Mw7.6, Kahramanmaraş-Gaziantep, Turkey earthquake sequence (including 2020 Mw 6.8 Elazığ, Turkey sequence). Seismic arrival data from @AFADBaskanlik. Details & catalog available at: https://t.co/1V2KcA33vH
@KeepItRheol Sorry, had a Twitter-free weekend! That’s a good question. My hunch is this coalesces at shallow depths, but it can also depend on the strain regime. Transtension may stay messier deeper (https://t.co/iD3yMQK3vF)
@KeepItRheol @faultcreeper I guess I’m not at all surprised how localized it is - most big ruptures in alluvium are for long stretches, and the overall geomorph of the fault zone is amazing. And thank goodness because this is the basis of trench paleoseismology! But also wow
@ALomaxNet@patton_cascadia@RLacassin@JudithGeology @geosmx We’re seeing that the ‘aftershock’ terminology, and the widespread assumption that aftershocks are relatively unimportant, affected several pretty high-level response efforts that omitted the M7.5 intensities from spatial analyses. So it’s not just a semantic argument.
