Abstract
1. We estimate Walker Lane fault slip rates using a dense filtered and gridded geodetic velocity field and a robust multi-block model approach 2. The geodetic slip rates are independent of geologic slip rates, but 80% agree with them to within uncertainties 3. The method images off-fault deformation and vertical axis rotations providing more insight into how crustal motion drives earthquakes Hammond et al., 202326 Feb 2024Submitted to ESS Open Archive 28 Feb 2024Published in ESS Open Archive
