Kite photography of the Landers, California earthquake surface rupture

These photos were taken in mid-December 1998 at the Galway Lake Road site along the Emerson Fault. See our earlier work on this site in this paper:

We also have a link with a photographic study that may provide evidence for variable slip directions with time in the Landers Earthquake (note that it loads slowly!).
