Active Faulting in the Central Walker Lane
(2019)Geodetic studies show that ~7–8 mm/yr of right-lateral shear is accumulating across theCentral Walker Lane in the absence of major through-going strike-slip faults. To better understandhow this fault system accommodates ... -

Active Faulting in the Northern Walker Lane and Post-Earthquake Reconnaissance in the Central Walker Lane, Nevada and Eastern California
(2021)The Walker Lane is a region of diverse tectonic activity situated along the Pacific-North American plate boundary. Unmapped and under characterized faults within the northern Walker Lane are associated with large uncertainties ... -

Block Kinematics and Slip Rates in the Southern Walker Lane Estimated From GPS Data
(2010)The southern Walker Lane (SWL) is a part of the Eastern California Shear Zone that lies north of the Mojave region, bounded by the Garlock Fault to the south, the Sierra Nevada to the west, the Basin and Range to the east ... -

Geologic mapping and zircon (U-Th)/He thermochronology of the Avawatz Mountains, California; Implications for the eastern terminus of the Garlock fault
(2023)The Avawatz Mountains are located at the eastern tip of the left-slip Garlock fault where the fault intersects the NW-striking right-slip Southern Death Valley fault (SDVF). The Avawatz Mountains were constructed via late ... -

Timescales and mechanisms of crustal thickening and post-orogenic extension in the North American Cordillera
(2022)Plate boundary forces are transmitted far into the interior of continents creating wide orogenic belts that modify large continental regions and extends geological hazards far from plate margins. Understanding the mechanisms ...
