Field Activity 2018-627-FA

Identifier 2018-627-FA
Purpose The goal is to learn the timing of recent faulting events, whether slip rates can be determined, and whether synchronous sediment transport events took place within multiple canyons indicating triggering by large prehistoric earthquake events.
Location southern California, United States, Pacific Ocean
Summary Collected push cores and vibracores from the La Jolla fan and San Diego Trough
Info derived Sediment deposition rates and timing of movement on faults
