Seismologists discovered that within a 30-year period, from 2014 to 2043, the odds of a magnitude 6.7 or larger earthquake occurring on the San Andreas Fault was 22%, on the Calaveras was 26% and ...

California quake risk: Newly discovered link between Calaveras, Hayward faults means potentially larger earthquakes Date: April 3, 2015 Source: University of California - Berkeley ...

California is covered with a spiderweb network of fault lines, many of them relatively unknown, like the spur of the Calaveras Fault where Monday night's 4.5 quake struck near Pleasant Hill.

The UC Berkeley team used 19 years of satellite data to map ground deformation using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and measure creep along the southern end of the Hayward Fault, and ...

The Bay Area fault system and the spot (red star) where the Hayward Fault branches off from the Calaveras Fault. The white lines indicate faults recognized by the USGS. The red line is the newly ...

There are at least 369,000 more people living near three major faults – the San Andreas, the Hayward and the Calaveras – than during the 1989 Loma Prieta quake.

Estelle Chaussard and colleagues used InSAR to map the land at the southern end of the Hayward Fault and found that the creep continued 15 km beyond to merge with the Calaveras Fault, ...

Earth scientists have long branded the Hayward Fault the Bay Area's deadliest, where a truly "Big One" is inevitable at some unforeseen time. But new seismic research indicates that the Hayward ...

While not as well known as its neighbors -- the San Andreas and Hayward faults -- a quake on the Calaveras Fault can still pack a punch for Bay Area residents.
