Crustal structure of the southern Calaveras fault zone, central California, from seismic refraction investigations Crustal structure of the southern Calaveras fault zone, central California, from seismic refraction investigations

A magnitude 5.7 earthquake on 6 August 1979, within the Calaveras fault zone, near Coyote Lake of west-central California, motivated a seismic-refraction investigation in this area. A northwest-southeast profile along the fault, as well as two fan profiles across the fault were recorded to examine the velocity structure of this region. The analysis of the data reveals a complicated upper...

Deformation in the White Mountain seismic gap, California-Nevada, 1972-1982 Deformation in the White Mountain seismic gap, California-Nevada, 1972-1982

A 100×40 km trilateration network extending from Bishop, California, to near Hawthorne, Nevada, crosses the east end of the Long Valley caldera, site of renewed magma inflation in the 1979–1980 interval, and spans most of the White Mountain seismic gap. The network was surveyed in 1972, 1973, 1976, 1979, 1980, and 1982. The 1980 survey may be contaminated by a scale error. In addition...
