Intellectual Merit Contributes to

- the understanding of fault mechanics, strain-partitioning, and fault slip rates within the San Andreas Transform system in general.

- the analysis of the discrepancies between geological and geodetic slip-rate estimates for the Garlock fault.
Broader Impacts Helps to evaluate geological and geodetic slip-rate estimates in the context of seismic hazard.
