Abstract The Superstition Hills Fault (SHF) exhibits a rich spectrum of slip modes, including M 6+ earthquakes, afterslip, quasi‐steady creep, and both triggered spontaneous slow events (SSEs). Following 13 years quiescence, creepmeters recorded 25 mm during 16–19 May 2023. Additional sub‐events brought the total to 41 mm. event nucleated on northern SHF in early‐May propagated bi‐laterally at rates order kilometers per day. Surface offsets reveal bi‐modal distribution, with section fault...

Abstract The Southern San Andreas Fault (SSAF) in California is one of the most thoroughly studied faults world, but its configuration at seismogenic depths remains enigmatic Coachella Valley. We use a combination space geodetic and seismic observations to demonstrate that relatively straight southernmost section SSAF, between Thousand Palms Bombay Beach, dipping northeast 60–80° throughout upper crust (<10 km), including shallow aseismic layer. constrain fault attitude top 2–3 km using...
