A recent trip to Palm Springs had us walking around in the desert with a smartphone and a tablet trying to match picture to real evidence so we could find and experience the San Andreas Fault. For the most part, it was pretty unremarkable. Photographs showed us the fault going straight thr...
Continental transform fault systems are fundamental features in plate tectonics. These complex systems often constitute multiple fault strands with variable spatio-temporal histories. Here, we re-evaluate the complex history of the San Andreas Fault alon

A profile of the strain accumulation rate along a line trending N50°E across the subparallel Elsinore, San Jacinto, and San Andreas faults near Palm Springs, California, has been constructed from trilateration surveys in the 1973-81 interval. The strain accumulation is principally right-lateral ...
