1 Application to Wells Nevada Earthquake http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/us2008nsa9.php www.kcbs.com http://www.wcsh6.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=81213 http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=2707850 http://www.seismo.unr.edu/

2 Slip distribution from the inversion of 7 three-component, broadband displacement records. The hypocenter at 7 km depth is shown as the black square. The rupture is down dip and bilateral. The slip outside the main two asperity patch is not considered to be well resolved. Nearby seismometers http://seismo.berkeley.edu/~dreger/wells_nv.htm

3 Map view seismological solution (SE dip)

4 40 cm slip along blind 3D dislocation Old location; now thought to dip the other direction)

5 Slip = 1 m Length = 15 km Top at 0 depth 60° dip Slip = 0.4 m Length = 15 km Top at 7 km along fault 60° dip

6 Faults from ftp://hazards.cr.usgs.gov/maps/qfault/
