Project Abstract

Intellectual Merit This research has raised the awareness of the role that fault system geometry may play in controlling fault stressing rates across geometrically complicated fault systems like that in southern California. This may be seen as a simple pedagogical point but it is also critically important to consider as we move from idealized models to simulations of the physical world.
Broader Impacts This research supported a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard (Jack Loveless). Because this work required the implementation of the Community Fault Model geometry in a block model it did certainly strengthen the network between my group and John Shaw's group at Harvard.
