We have developed two case studies demonstrating the use of high-resolution seismic tomography and reflection imaging in the field of paleoseismology. The first study, of the Washington fault in southern Utah, USA, evaluated the subsurface deposits in the hanging wall of the normal fault. The second study, of the Mercur fault in the eastern Great Basin of Utah, USA, helped to establish borehole locations for sampling subsurface colluvial deposits buried deeper than those previously trenched along the fault zone. We evaluated the seismic data interpretations by comparison with data obtained by trenching and logging deposits across the Washington fault, and by drill-core sampling and video logging of boreholes penetrating imaged deposits along the Mercur fault. The seismic tomograms provided critical information on colluvial wedges and faults but lacked sufficient detail to resolve individual paleoearthquakes.

Three-dimensional(3-D) seismic data and structure analysis of the Lishu subasin in Songliao basin indicates that Qinjiatun fault zone is composed of two faults: East-Qin and West-Qin fault. This fault system initially formed at Huoshiling stage, peaked at Shahezi stage and faded dramatically from Yingcheng stage. The Qinjiatun fault was important in controlling strata thickness and distribution of the Huoshiling formation. Qindong fault, a typical strike-slip fault, developed relatively later, cutting the Qinjiatun fault, The major active stage was in Denglouku-Quantou stage, and weakened in the end of late Cretaceous. Qinjiatun fault zone was reversed at Denglouku stage when the regional stress went compressive, generating a structure nose that was potentially beneficial for hydrocarbon to accumulate. The strike-slip Qindong fault became active relatively later, cutting through the previous strata and proving pathways for both accumulation and effusion of hydrocarbon.

Seismic Images

Interpretation of seismic responses from subsurface fault zones is hampered by the fact that the geologic structure and property distributions of fault zones can generally not be directly observed. This shortcoming curtails the use of seismic data for characterizing internal structure and properties of fault zones, and it has instead promoted the use of interpretation techniques that tend to simplify actual structural complexity by rendering faults as lines and planes rather than volumes of deformed rock. Facilitating the correlation of rock properties and seismic images of fault zones would enable active use of these images for interpreting fault zones, which in turn would improve our ability to assess the impact of fault zones on subsurface fluid flow. We use a combination of 3D fault zone models, based on empirical data and 2D forward seismic modeling to investigate the link between fault zone properties and seismic response. A comparison of spatial statistics from the geologic models and the seismic images was carried out to study how well seismic images render the modeled geologic features. Our results indicate the feasibility of extracting information about fault zone structure from seismic data by the methods used.

Abstract Although the Wasatch fault is currently known to have a high-seismic hazard from motion along range-bounding faults, new seismic data reveal faulted and folded 13,000–30,000-yr-old Lake Bonneville strata beneath Salt Lake City (SLC). Coupled with previous excavation trench, borehole, and other geologic and geophysical observations, we conclude that a zone of latest Pleistocene and/or Holocene faulting and folding kinematically links the East Bench and Warm Springs faults through a 3 km wide relay structure and transfer zone. We characterize faults beneath downtown SLC as active, and these faults may displace or deform the ground surface during an earthquake. Through offset but linked faults, our observations support throughgoing ruptures across faults of the Wasatch fault zone (WFZ) and an elevated risk of earthquake-induced building damage.

Re-examination of published seismic data in the southeasternmost segment of the active Sumatra Fault zone (SFZ) reveals the characteristics of structural style and depositional history of Semangko pull apart basin (SPB). The SPB have been developed as a transtensional pull apart basin resulted from stepping over of the Semangko to Ujung Kulon segments of the SFZ. The geometry of SPB is of rhomboidal shape characterized by dual depocenters separated by a discrete structural high in the center of SPB. Based on the determination of pre- and syn-kinematic strata related to the formation of SPB, sedimentary units prior to deposition of Unit 3 can be regarded as pre-kinematic strata, whereas the syn-kinematic strata is represented by Unit 3. The basin sidewall faults of the SPB are likely to have been developed as en-echelon side wall faults and identified as the East Semangko Fault (ESF) and Kota Agung – South Panaitan Faults (KAF-SPF) in the western and eastern margin of the SPB, respectively. The development of discrete highs along the center of the SPB may relate to the formation of en-echelon cross-basin faults that are now overprinted by volcanic activity or magmatic intrusion.Analisa ulang data seismik yang telah dipublikasikan di daerah segmen paling tenggara dari zona sesar aktif Sumatra (SFZ) mengungkapkan karakteristik struktur dan sejarah pengendapan dari cekungan pull-apart Semangko (SPB). SPB terbentuk sebagai cekungan transtensional pull-apart yang dihasilkan dari step over segmen Semangko dan segmen Ujung Kulon. Geometri SPB adalah bentuk rhomboidal yang dicirikan oleh dua depocenter yang dipisahkan oleh struktur tinggian yang tidak menerus di bagian tengah SPB. Berdasarkan penentuan unit pre- dan syn-kinematic strata yang terkait dengan pembentukan SPB, unit sedimen yang terbentuk sebelum pengendapan Unit 3 dapat dianggap sebagai pre-kinematic strata, sedangkan syn-kinematic strata diwakili oleh Unit 3. Sesar side-wall dari SPB kemungkinan telah berkembang sebagai sesar yang bersifat en-echelon dan diidentifikasi sebagai Sesar Semangko Timur (ESF) dan Sesar Kota Agung - Panaitan Selatan (KAF-SPF) di tepian barat dan timur SPB. Pembentukan tinggian  yang tidak menerus di sepanjang bagian tengah SPB berhubungan dengan pembentukan sesar-sesar cross-basin yang bersifat en-echelon yang sekarang telah tertutupi jejaknya oleh aktivitas gunung api atau intrusi magmatik.
