| Abstract | Elizabeth Madden and her team at San Jose State University (SJSU) will characterize the geometry and activity of faults making up the San Andreas Fault (SAF) System in the San Francisco Bay Area, using a novel combination of geological mapping, LiDAR data, and computer models. (LiDAR surveys use pulses of laser light sent from an aircraft to map the Earth's surface.) This is critical for understanding earthquake hazard: the geometric structure of faults controls how, when, and where they produce |
