2006 Annual Meeting: Southern San Andreas Fault Project Meeting

Southern San Andreas Fault Project Meeting
Date: September 10, 2006 (4-6 pm)
Organizer: Ken Hudnut

The newly formed SCEC Southern San Andreas Fault (SoSAF) Project will increase our knowledge of slip rates and paleo-event chronology for the past few thousand years on the southern San Andreas fault system. From Parkfield to Bombay Beach, and including the San Jacinto fault, the objective is to obtain new data to clarify and refine relative hazard assessments for each potential source of a future 'Big One.' This initial meeting is an opportunity for participants to hear and discuss this new addition to the regular SCEC RFP, to openly discuss their interests, and to facilitate future collaborations in the broader context of a decade-long series of interdisciplinary, integrated and complementary studies on the southern San Andreas fault system.
