Fault slip rates and earthquake histories for active faults in southern California

Mark D. Petersen1 and Steven G. Wesnousky

Center for Neotectonic Studies University of Nevada-Reno, Reno, Nevada 89557-6067

Abstract

Within the context of the historical record of seismicity, we review the geological data bearing on the Quaternary slip rates and paleoearthquake histories of active faults in southern California.
