High resolution topography and active faulting

J Ramon R. Arrowsmith

Published September 2014, SCEC Contribution #2040

Active faults can be characterized with topography sampling the ground once per meter or more. Such data come
from traditional field survey and interpretation of stereo photography as well as airborne and terrestrial laser
scanning and structure from motion. Applications of these data enhance efforts to map fault zones, reconstruct
landscapes to infer offset, characterize surface process response to rock uplift, and quantify near-field coseismic
displacements.
