Topic: Gulf of CaliforniaWritten by Carol Rasmussen
Knowing how faults are connected helps scientists understand how stress transfers between faults. Ultimately, this helps researchers understand whether an earthquake on one section of a fault would rupture multiple fault sections, resulting in a much larger earthquake. ![]() The approximate location of the newly mapped Ocotillo section, which ties together California’s Elsinore fault and Mexico’s Laguna Salada fault into one continuous fault system.

NASA works with NOAA to better detect Monsoon Flash Floods using GPS SensorsNASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Perhaps the least understood and most erratic weather pattern in the United States, the monsoon brings precipitation that is vital to agriculture and the ecosystem, but it also presents serious threats to life, limb, and property. ![]() North American monsoons can be unpredictable, erratic and bring severe flash flooding to dry, sunbaked areas.

NASA study shows Baja Earthquake caused quiet motion in Southern California faultsWritten
The quiet motion associated with the widely felt, magnitude 7.2 earthquake centered in northern Baja California in Mexico, in April 2010 was discovered in before-and-after radar images of the region made by a NASA airborne instrument that produces extremely accurate maps of Earth motions. ![]() UAVSAR measurements north of the 2010 El Mayor-Cucapah earthquake, which scientists have learned was followed by quiet movement on faults in California. Inset map shows the region on the California-Mexico border. (NASA/JPL/USGS/California Geological Survey/Google) «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Technology | No Comments
NASA creates 3D Image of Los Angeles Earthquake ZoneWritten by Alan Buis
There have been hundreds of aftershocks, including one of magnitude 4.1. ![]() JPL scientists modeled the March 28, 2014 magnitude 5.1 quake near Los Angeles based on USGS seismic data. This model image shows how the quake may appear to airborne radar, such as NASA’s UAVSAR, which will survey the area soon. Blue shades indicate the greatest surface displacement.
