Seismicity and Active Compressional Tectonics in Santa Monica Bay, Southern California [PDF]
, 1989 During 1973–1986 the seismicity in Santa Monica Bay consisted of an average of four events per year of M_L ≥ 2.5, in addition to the 1979 Malibu (M_L = 5.0) mainshock-aftershock sequence.

DEFORMATION AND BASIN FORMATION ALONG STRIKE-SLIP FAULTS
, 1985 Significant advances during the decade 1975 to 1985 in understanding the geology of basins along strike-slip faults include the following: (1) paleomagnetic and other evidence for very large magnitude strike slip in some orogenic belts; (2) abundant paleo-magnetic evidence for the pervasive rotation of blocks about vertical axes within broad ...

Sea Beam Survey of an Active Strike-Slip Fault: The San Clemente Fault in the California Continental Borderland [PDF]
, 1989 The San Clemente fault, located in the California Continental Borderland, is an active, northwest trending, right-lateral, wrench fault. Sea Beam data are used to map the major tectonic landforms associated with active submarine faulting in detail ...
