Project Abstract
|
This project began as the evaluation of an alluvial fan offset by the San Andreas in the southern Indio Hills of Coachella Valley (see proposal 12093). In subsequent discussions, colleagues expressed doubt on the context of the site, and the primary project was put on hold. After discussion with SCEC leadership, the focus of the project was redirected to support ongoing fault study efforts in the Coachella Valley. Three of these supported projects are continuation of my own work: slip-per-event interpretations from geomorphic evidence, structural interpretation of the San Andreas –Banning fault connections through the Indio Hills, and detailed work to evaluation an apparent very long term displacement record just north of Thousand Palms Canyon in the Indio Hills. SCEC collaborations during the period of this project included assisting Katherine Scharer and Kim Blisniuk with field work to support total deformation evaluations for the southern San Andreas fault, and guiding a demonstration of Structure-from-Motion data collection at two study sites: southern Mecca Hills and north of Thousand Palms Oasis. Summaries of these projects reference meeting abstracts (project 1, 2 and 3), a manuscript in preparation (project 4), a meeting abstract (project 5), and manuscript materials (project 6). |
