1 Hosgri-San Simeon Fault Zone Geologic Slip Rate Insert picture(s) here Kathryn Hanson AMEC E&I Diablo Canyon SSHAC Project SSC Workshop 2 November 7, 2012
2 What insights have your geologic investigations provided on: The slip rate on the San Simeon fault? The slip rate on the Hosgri fault? The variability of slip rate along strike on the San Gregorio- San Simeon-Hosgri fault system?

4 Long-term Slip Historyoffset Mio-Pliocene Strata Modified from Clark et al. (1984) Net Neogene right-lateral slip on SG-SS-H fault system (~156 km) since initiation in late Miocene Dickenson et al. (2005) Evidence for decrease in slip rate (Clark et al. 1999) ~25-30 mm/yr 10-8 Ma 16 mm/yr (8 3 Ma) 6 mm/yr 3 0 Ma
5 San Gregorio Paleoseismic Investigations Seal Cove Locality Simpson et al. (1998) Multiple surface rupturing events RL slip rate of 3.5 to 4.5 mm/yr (Seal Cove trace, minimum for zone), Aňo Nuevo Locality Weber (1990);Weber et al. (1995); Clark et al. (1999) Late Pleistocene RL slip rate of 6 to 11 mm/yr (preferred 6-8 mm/yr) John Caskey (person. commun., Nov.2012) Late Pleistocene RL slip rate of 5 mm/yr Quaternary Fault and Fold Database
