Explore the complex geological challenges of restoring Alaska's strike-slip faults in this 42-minute conference talk featuring South Dakota School of Mines Assistant Professor Trevor Waldien. Discover the intricate complications that arise when attempting to understand and reconstruct the displacement patterns of Alaska's major fault systems. Learn about the unique geological characteristics that make Alaska's strike-slip faults particularly challenging to study and interpret, including the factors that complicate traditional restoration methods used in structural geology. Gain insights into the cutting-edge research approaches and methodologies being employed to better understand these complex tectonic features, and understand how these geological complications impact our broader understanding of Alaska's tectonic history and earthquake hazards.
