Measured crustal deformation in Imperial Valley, California

Conference · · Geothermics; (United States)
OSTI ID:5350580
Precise geodetic surveys since 1972 indicate that significant vertical deformation of the land surface continues in Imperial Valley, California. Measured vertical changes indicate that two types of tectonic movement are occurring: (1) a downward tilt of the valley surface from the Mexican border northward toward Salton Sea, and (2) a deepening of the structural trough presently occupied by Salton Sea. 4 refs.
