Presentation Transcript

  1. Shoreline and Hosgri Faults, Central Coast Jeanne Hardebeck, USGS • Depth extent of the Hosgri Fault from seismicity. • Geometry of the Shoreline Fault.

  2. Relocated Earthquakes (3D velocity + double-difference) San Simeon Hosgri

  3. Relocated Earthquakes (3D velocity + double-difference) - DEPTH ≥8 km San Simeon Hosgri

  4. Earthquake locations from double-difference relocation, relative arrival times from waveform cross-correlation.

  5. Implemented an objective method to find the simplest fault structure that fits the seismicity [Ouillon et al., JGR 2008].

  6. Fault planes fit to Shoreline and Hosgri earthquakes using the objective method of Ouillon et al. [JGR 2008].

  7. Depth extent of the Hosgri Fault from seismicity: • Microseismicity down to ~14 km depth offshore Pt Buchon. • Microseismicity down to ~14 km depth along San Simeon Fault. • Geometry of the Shoreline Fault: • Objective method of fitting fault planes to seismicity. • Shoreline Fault fit by a single plane. No objective evidence for any discontinuities or segmentation at seismogenic depths. • Discontinuities smaller than the location uncertainty of ~1 km may be undetected, but would be too small to be barriers to earthquake rupture [e.g. Wesnousky, BSSA 2008]. • Northwest end of Shoreline Fault extends to the mapped trace of the Hosgri Fault, indicating that there is no gap between these faults at seismogenic depths.
