  26. Summary and Future Work • Resistivity and seismic methods used to detect the Qademah fault • One colluvial wedge is shown on both ERT and refraction tomogram • Reflection stacked section shows the Qademah fault and the associated antithetic fault(s)

  27. Summary and Future Work • The Qademah Fault will be tracked to the south with • Seismic • Resistivity • EM • and possibly GPR • A trench will be made at Qademah fault to date the colluvial wedge • If more than one colluvial wedge is found, then we will be able to find the fault recurrence.
