As I was jumping into my shower last night, I reflected upon an AGU mtg while a student

All week I slept in my truck bed, under a tarp, at the parking structure just north of the moscone center...

for in 2017 M 4.3 in northern

seismicity between main fault strands (San Andreas and Maacama) of the Pacific/North America plate boundary

learn about the San Andreas fault system in report:

got my poster done Quaternary Stratigraphy of Eel River

presenting this on Friday at @theAGU

i posted it online here (to download or view the high resolution version, which may be updated slightly before it gets printed): earthjay.com/?page_id=802

for in 2017 M 6.4 and 6.3 offshore of

interesting strike-slip earthquakes within Caroline plate, possibly right-lateral (?), along the Caroline Ridge

learn about the fascinating tectonics here:

for in 2018 M 6.5 offshore of northern

right-lateral strike-slip earthquake on Mendocino fault
felt by yours truly onshore

learn about the Mendocino triple junction:

for in 2018 M 7.5 offshore of

maybe related to 8/29/18 M7.1
extensional (normal) "outer rise" type earthquake
triggered M6.6 earthquake
generated modest tsunami

read report:

well, all day i have had it in my mind that the mag was M 7.4 and that is what i wrote for the ground failure and intensity interpreti e posters.

they are updated online and here is a tweet showing them.

here is the :

earthjay.com/?p=11611

for M 7.4 offshore of

compressional (thrust) earthquake
generated tsunami
@USGS_Quakes models suggest high chance for liquefaction
triggered slip near interface (?)

report here:
earthjay.com/?p=11611

for M7.6 offshore of the

generated ~10cm amplitude (20cm wave height) tsunami at Davao Tide Gage (which is in a somewhat sheltered location compared to epicenter so probably larger tsunami along coast)

earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquake

for M7.6 offshore of

High intensity, hopefully not much suffering
Reported intensity MMI 10
Probably will generate tsunami

2018 report has tectonic background information
earthjay.com/?p=8086

earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquake

for in 2017 M 6.1 in

felt reports of shaking intensity up to MMI 7

learn about the regional and local tectonics in the report:
earthjay.com/?p=6733

for in 2018 M7.0 in

intraslab (within the subducted Pacific plate) normal (extensional) earthquake

generated ground failures (landslides and liquefaction)

felt widely

also, see new map showing historical eqs
