Field observations of strike slip faults in jointed granitic rocks of the central Sierra Nevada, California, combined with a mechanical analysis of fault interaction, provide insight into how fault terminations vary with scale.

This pattern is consistent with an approximately threefold drop in geologic slip rate as the Calico fault steps over onto the Blackwater fault and demonstrates the significance of fault interaction for understanding the pattern of present-day strain accumulation in the ECSZ.

The model is simplified by approximating the solute/dislocation interaction energy as the sum of a misfit strain contribution and a stacking fault interaction term, with the dislocation stress field estimated using a Peierls-Nabarro-type model of the basal edge dislocation.

Looking to the future, a dense array of continuous GPS recorders in northern California can inform us about fault interactions and behaviors that may allow us to better predict earthquakes.

The model's poor performance in a relatively simple tectonic setting does not bode well for its successful application to the many areas of the world characterized by complex fault interactions.

There's good reason to study potential fault interactions near Los Angeles.

Many complex physical processes that contribute to earthquake generation, such as fault friction and fault interactions, are not well known.

Fault interactions, especially in areas with closely spaced faults, may also contribute to variations in slip distributions along a single fault (Martel and Shacat 2006).
