Summary

The bedrock offset of the Denali Fault at the Delta River crossing is varies between 55 and 95 meters, up to the north, based on SASW-shear wave velocity models. The 2002 earthquake contributed between 0.6 and 0.8 meters to the total offset (~1%). LIDAR imagery in 2004 shows excellent preservation of the scarp on the Delta River deposits. LIDAR provides a permanent quantitative 3-D record of surface deformation along a fault at position accuracies of <1cm. GPR was used to identify dragged and offset beds across the scarp, primarily from the last event.
