2011 SCEC Annual Meeting: Southern San Andreas Fault Evaluation (SoSAFE) Workshop
Convener: Kate Scharer, Ramon Arrowsmith
Date: Sunday, September 11, 2011 (13:00 - 17:00)
Location: Hilton Palm Springs Resort
Participants: view list of registrants
The primary goal of the Southern San Andreas Fault Evaluation (SoSAFE) project is to understand the timing of and slip due to earthquakes that occurred along the southern San Andreas and San Jacinto faults over the last 2000 years. This workshop will combine both individual presentations summarizing major SoSAFE research results and group discussion about the implications and use of these results. Discussions are designed to address field- and technology-related challenges in paleoseismology and slip rate studies, as well as wider discussion on the scope and priorities of SoSAFE in future years.

Talk 5: Slip/Event Data Compilation: What Do We Know About the Slip History of the SAF System?
(R. Arrowsmith, 19 MB PowerPoint, and R. Weldon, 2.9 MB PowerPoint)
Group Discussion
- Is the SAF/SJF system generally characteristic in slip at a point?
- Are these faults really segmented?
- What is the largest earthquake that can occur along the system based on the paleoseismic record?
- What do geomorphic offsets represent, or more importantly, how we can use such data to develop rupture histories when it can be shown that not all earthquakes are clearly recorded as separate offsets.

Talk 6: Earthquake Response Given Large Southern California Event – Background and Existing Plans: USGS (K. Hudnut, 17.2 MB PowerPoint), CGS Plans (J. Treiman, 4.5 MB PowerPoint), CalEMA (J. Goltz, 2.6 MB PowerPoint) - 15 minutes each
|
| 16:30 |
Group Discussion
- Given experience in recent earthquakes, what technologies should be adopted?
- Should we assign areas or other coordination given likely limitations to internet access?
-Coordination with other groups/agencies?
|
| 16:45 |
Discussion and Feedback
- What are the priorities for SoSAFE for the next several years?
- How shall we coordinate field review?
