Fault zone characteristics and basin complexity in the southern Salton Trough, California

Ongoing oblique slip at the Pacific-North America plate boundary in the Salton Trough produced the Imperial Valley (California, USA), a seismically active area with deformation distributed across a complex network of exposed and buried faults. To better understand the shallow crustal structure in th...
