Subsidence, Compaction and Gravity-Sliding:
Implications for 3D Geometry, Dynamic Rupture and Seismic Hazard
of Active Basin-Bounding Faults in Southern Californiaby:
Dr. Craig Nicholson
UCSB Co-authored with:

Oblique 3D view looking northeast across the surface trace of the San Cayetano fault showing digital topography
(DEM) overlayed with mapped surface geology [Dibblee, 2002]. The unusual lobate shape (Modelo Lobe) of this section of the fault is inferred to be the result of a
mega-landslide caused by basin subsidence and mountain uplift.
