San Francisco CA (SPX) Apr 24, 2015 - A new look at slip rate data and geologic evidence for ancient earthquakes on the central Garlock fault suggest that seismic activity along the fault may be controlled in part by "super-cycle" changes in strain that occur on thousand-year timescales. The findings are part of an increasing body of evidence that suggests there may be large-scale coordination of earthquakes in time and space, ... more
