He took us into Backcountry of the BLM Wilderness East of Palm Desert. We took a loop trail in the Jeep and then went to Painted Canyon to see the effects the San Andreas fault on the landscape. The scenery was spectacular and something we never would hav...

If a large earthquake ruptures the San Andreas fault,the death toll could approach 2,000, and the shaking could lead to damage in every city in Southern California — from Palm Springs to San Luis Obispo, seismologist Lucy Jones has said. What does the San Andreas Fault do? The San Andre...
We studied a paleoseismic trench excavated in 2017 across the Banning strand of the San Andreas fault and herein provide the first detailed record of ground-breaking earthquakes on this important fault in Southern California. The trench exposed an ~40-m-wide fault zone cutting through alluvial san...

We select kinematic finite source inversions of past earthquakes on geometrically similar faults and map these onto multiple locations on the southern San Andreas fault. We allow these earthquakes to propagate in two alternate directions, north-to-south and south-to-north. Here, we will refer to ...
