Subsurface Character of the San Andreas Fault System, and Its Earthquake Potential

这一建议是为了调查的命题，大多数 南加州的主要横向构造有 在相当浅的深度分离。 该研究将利用 南半球现有的大量地震反射数据 加州的信息有关的问题。 小说 提取陡倾断层反射波的成像方法 表面将被应用于评估地震的潜力， 以前未知的活动断层。 这项研究涉及 南加州的地震潜力，因此直接 适用于国家地震减灾计划。

This proposal is to investigate the proposition that most of the major transcurrent structures in Southern California are detached at fairly shallow depths. The research will utilize an extensive set of existing seismic reflection data from Southern California for information bearing on the question. Novel imaging methods to extract reflections from steeply dipping fault surfaces will be applied to evaluate the earthquake potential of previously unknown active faults. This research deals with the earthquake potential of Southern California and thus is directly applicable to the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program.
