1 Lithospheric Structure of the Gulf of California – Salton Trough Region, NARS-Baja Array Working Group: Robert Clayton, Caltech Don Forsyth, Brown Antonio Gonzalez-Fernandez, CICESE Craig Jones, Colorado Cecillio Rebollar, CICESE Jose Romo-Jones, CICESE

2 Science Questions: What is the rifting process and how does it vary from north to south in the Gulf What is the role of the remnant slab – where does it exist. Methods Map of the Moho from seismic and other geophysical methods. Map of the lithosphere/asthenosphere boundary. Velocity Variations from tomography studies. Flow directions from anisotropy Current strain from earthquakes Products 3D regional-scale velocity model Earthquake catalogue.
