3D visualization and data files for NonLinLoc (NLL) relocations and FPFIT mechanism determinations presented in the printed paper


3D Java visualization

The Java visualization using the Java Seismicity Viewer (http://alomax.net/seismicity) shows the NLL (http://alomax.net/nlloc) relocations of recent (1971-2007) micro-earthquakes in the study region. The pdf for the preferred mainshock location of Lomax (2005) is represented by the red cloud of points. The likely focal volume is indicated by a 3-D polygon (orange lines). Approximate extent of NWSAF, WSF, SFP and DEEP cluster structures indicated by dashed lines. Thin magenta lines show simplified California faults; thick magenta lines show selected major faults from Bruns et al. (2002). PL, Point Lobos; LM, Lake Merced; DC, Daly City; PSP, Point San Pedro; SAFZ, San Andreas fault zone; GGF, Golden Gate fault; SGFZ, San Gregorio fault zone; SCF, Seal Cove fault. (see Figures 1 and 3 in the printed paper for details).

NLL maximum likelihood hypocenters are shown by color in depth: above -1km, brown; -1 to 2km, orange; 2 to 5km, yellow; 5 to 10km, green; 10 to 16km, blue; below 16km, magenta. In the printed paper events shallow than 2km depth are not shown.

Important: Due to the large size of the data files, and depending on the speed of your Internet connection, the 3D Java visualizations may take some time to initialize. The Java visualizations require the Java plug-in (v1.4 or higher) in your browser and that your network and browser security allow Java applets and active content. To download the Java plug-in visit: http://www.java.com

Relocations, 1906 pdf, Faulting Structures - All relocated hypocenters, 1906 pdf and likely focal volume, faulting structures and basic map elements.

Relocations - All relocated hypocenters and basic map elements only.

Focal mechanism P and T axes - Focal mechanism P and T axes and basic map elements only. Select Show Horiz P/T axes for: Thrust/Normal/Strike-slip to display axis closest to horizontal for Thrust/Normal/Strike-slip events defined as described in the printed paper. Select MaxLikelihood to display relocated hypocenters.
