Evaluating surface faulting chronologies of Graben-Bounding faults in Salt Lake Valley, Utah - new Paleoseismic data from the Salt Lake City segment of the Wasatch Fault zone and the West Valley fault zone

The Salt Lake City segment of the Wasatch Fault zone and the West Valley fault zone are Holocene active faults that have evidence of large magnitude surface faulting earthquakes. Paleoseismic research trenches provide data that shed light on the faulting behavior and interaction of fault systems.
