Event Overview:
3D Visualization of Seismicity associated with this event - provided in VRML format as a demonstration of the capabilities of the Parkfield Unified Visualization Project. Note: The entire 2004 rupture is being surveyed by a USGS/California Geological Survey team (Mike Rymer, John Tinsley, and Jerry Treiman). Here is a link to some preliminary information from them: http://www.consrv.ca.gov/CGS/geologic_hazards/earthquakes/09282004_field_obs.htm Central Middle Mountain: A portion of our post-EQ field effort was focused on fracture mapping on Ted Gilbert's property on Middle Mountain. These data were contributed to the rupture survey being completed by the USGS/CGS team:
Below is our field map overlain with the shapefile of observation localities along the rupture:

This section of the fault corresponds with a detailed paleoseismic study conducted by Toké during the summer of 2004. For more information on the paleoseismic results and an integration of the 2004 fracture mapping with the paleoseismology, see the Paleoseismology and Geomorphology page.
