Accurate spatial models of tectonic plates and geological terranes are important for
analyzing and interpreting a wide variety of geoscientific data and developing compositional …

We infer rates of crustal deformation in the northern Walker Lane (NWL) and western Basin
and Range using data from the Mobile Array of GPS for Nevada transtension, and other …

Abstract We use high-resolution (1.5–2.4 points/m2) bare-earth airborne Light Detection and
Ranging (LiDAR) imagery to identify, map, constrain, and visualize fault-related …

Abstract The Walker Lane belt of eastern California and western Nevada is the northernmost
extension of the Gulf of California transtensional rift, where the process of continental rupture …

We present a velocity and strain rate model for the northern Walker Lane derived from a
compilation of geodetic velocities and corrected for transient effects owing to historic …

The Sierra Nevada of California is the longest and tallest mountain range in the co-terminus
USA, and has long been regarded as topographically very young (< 6 Ma); however, recent …

A recent evaluation of Martis Creek Dam highlighted the potential for dam failure due to
either seepage or an earthquake on nearby faults. In 1972, the US Army Corps of Engineers …

Patterns in fault slip rates through time and space are examined across the transition from
the Sierra Nevada to the Eastern California Shear Zone–Walker Lane belt. At each of four …

Abstract The West Tahoe–Dollar Point fault (WTDPF) extends along the western margin of
the Lake Tahoe Basin (northern Sierra Nevada, western United States) and is characterized …

We measured extension rates across Lake Tahoe Basin for the last 60 ka. based on
measured displacement of offset marker surfaces across three active faults beneath Lake …
