Call for papers: Seismotectonics of the San Andreas Fault System in the San Gorgonio Pass region

Seismotectonics of the San Andreas Fault System in the San Gorgonio Pass region:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The San Gorgonio Pass region is the most geometrically complex part of the San Andreas fault system, and may serve as both a barrier and an initiation point for devastating earthquakes. Over the past 5 years, the San Gorgonio Pass was a site of focused investigation (a special fault study area, or SFSA) for researchers in the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) with support from their various organizations and institutions. This special issue invited contributions from seismologists, geophysicists, geologists, crustal deformation modelers, geodesists, and dynamic rupture modelers that endeavor to better understand the rupture potential though the geometric complexities in this region. For example, recent evidence suggests that slip may be partitioned among several sub-parallel active strands (though debate continues on this issue) and that 1 out of 4 San Andreas events initiate within, or rupture though the pass. These and other insights emerging from the collective focused study of the San Gorgonio pass region may inform many other regions that also host fault complexity.

Editors: Michele Cooke, Doug Yule and David Oglesby

The solicitation for papers will be open through March 2019.

Want to send an announcement to the SCEC community?
SCEC community announcement requests should be sent to scecinfo@usc.edu (no attachments) with the following requirements, in order to best standardize announcements and provide maximum security for recipients. These requirements also ensure that various email applications and any applied filters reach the recipient as the announcement was intended.

1) Use this style guide :
All text must be in Helvetica, 12 pt.
Bold, italics, and underline formatting is permitted.
Consider the length of web links; use bit.ly or tinyurl.com to shorten them as needed.
NO PDFs, Word Docs, images, or other attachments - all content must be in the email request itself.
2) Include a subject line.

3) Remember, send your request to scecinfo@usc.edu.

We strive to send announcements as soon as possible. In general, expect a 2-3 business day turn-around. We may also combine announcements with others, delay sending certain announcements due to current events, and even reject requests if they do not fit the needs of the SCEC community.
