Project Abstract
 N/A
Intellectual Merit This project directly addresses the SCEC research priority to provide realistic descriptions of fault zone geometry and off-fault damage as a function of depth and along strike, over a range of scales. In particular, field and laboratory observational work is aimed at defining the variation in the structure and intensity of damage along the North Branch of the San Gabriel Fault through an isolated, macroscopic bend in the fault surface.
Broader Impacts The project contributes to integrated teaching and research of fault and rupture mechanics at the host institution, and directly supports a graduate student working towards an M.S. in Geology.
