Coseismic leveling and triangulation observations are used to determine the faulting geometry and slip distribution of the July 21, 1952, Mw 7.3 Kern County earthquake on the White Wolf fault. A singular value decomposition inversion is used to assess the ability of the geodetic network to resolve...
The spatio-temporal variation of seismicity in the epicentral area of the 1952 Kern County California, earthquake (M_s = 7.7, 34°58.6′N; 119°02′W) was examined for the period prior to the main shock. Most of the events that occurred in the epicentral area were relocated by using the...
Triangulation surveys carried out in the vicinity of the White Wolf Fault in 1932, 1952, 1953, and 1963 are used to delineate the strain changes preceding, accompanying, and following the 1952 earthquake. The strain rate (engineering shear) during the preseismic interval (1932 to 1952) was 0.3...

We consider whether the 21 July 1952 Mw 7.5 Kern County earthquake might have been induced by production in the Wheeler Ridge oil field. The mainshock, which was not preceded by any significant foreshocks, occurred 98 days after the initial production of oil in Eocene strata at depths ...
