Figure 8.7 (a) Geologic map of the Mount Diablo contractional step-over (after Wakabayashi et al., 2004, with
permission from Elsevier). Geologic data are from Wagner et al. (1990) and Unruh & Sawyer (1997). (b) Fault map
showing residual permanent scatterer InSAR rates (dots) after removing the contribution of tectonic horizontal motions
and all points located on late Pleistocene substrate (image provided by R. Bürgmann and modified from Bürgmann et al.,
2006, with permission from the Geological Society of America). Permanent scatterers are stable radar-bright points such
as buildings, outcrops, utility poles etc. that are used to identify time-dependent surface motions. Modeled range rates
include 115,487 permanent scatterers relative to point labeled FIXED for the years 1992–2000. Positive residuals
correspond to uplift. MD, Mount Diablo; MH, Mission Hills; SCM, Santa Cruz Mountains. Black arrows show residual
(observed minus modeled) GPS horizontal velocities, which provide a measure of how well the model fits the observations
(Section 8.5.3). Inset in (b) shows the geometry of folds and thrust faults in a contractional step-over between the
Hayward and Calaveras faults (after Aydin & Page, 1984, with permission from the Geological Society of America).
