Collaborative Research: Holocene Seismicity of the Northern San Andreas Fault Based on Precise Dating of the Turbidite Event Record

0107120金手指0107093纳尔逊大地震代表着能量的大释放，预测它们的能力显然很重要。 已经开发了一些地震时间和空间特征的模型，但尚未得到充分的测试和验证，主要是因为与地震之间的典型时间相比，历史记录非常短。 该项目将利用浊积岩作为大地震的代用品，试图提供沿卡斯卡迪亚边缘沿着至少跨越10，000年的大地震记录。 其结果将是非常宝贵的，在测试地震复发模型。

0107120 Goldfinger0107093 NelsonGreat earthquakes represent large releases of energy and the ability to predict them is of obvious importance. A number of models of earthquake temporal and spatial characteristics have been developed, but have not been adequately tested and validated, mostly because the historical record is very short in comparison to the typical time between earthquakes. This project will attempt to provide a record of large earthquakes along the Cascadia margin that spans at least 10,000 years by use of turbidites as proxies for large earthquakes. The results will be invaluable in testing earthquake recurrence models.
