The Ojai California Earthquake of 20 August 2023: Earthquake Early Warning Performance and Alert Recipient Response in the M w 5.1 Event
When the levee breaks: Visualization of a deepwater crevasse splay in Late Cretaceous in Exmouth Basin Offshore Western Australia
ABSTRACT We present here a comprehensive record of Miocene terrestrial ecosystems from exposures of the Monterey Formation along the Naples coastal bluffs, west of Santa Barbara, California. Constrained by an updated chronology, pollen analyses of 28 samples deposited between 18 and 6 Ma reflect the demise of mesophytic taxa that grew in a warm, wet environment during the late early and early middle Miocene and the development of a summer-dry/winter-wet Mediterranean climate during the late Miocene. Broadleaf tree pollen from mesophytic woodlands and forests now found in the southeastern United States and China ( Liquidambar , Tilia , Ulmus , Carya ) characterized the Miocene climatic optimum (16.9–14.7 Ma), the middle Miocene climate transition (14.7–13.8 Ma), and the interval up to ca. 13.0 Ma. Subsequently, during the late middle to early late Miocene, between 13.3 and 9.0 Ma, oak woodlands and herbs (Asteraceae, Amaranthaceae, Poaceae) from beach scrub and chaparral increased as ocean temperatures cooled and the climate became drier. Between ca. 8.9 and 7.6 Ma, pine increased mostly at the expense of oak ( Quercus ) and herbs, suggesting a period of increasing precipitation. During the latest Miocene (7.5–6.0 Ma), an increase of herb-dominated ecosystems (chaparral, coastal scrub) at the expense of pine reflects the full development of a summer-dry/winter-wet climate in coastal southern California.
Relationship of organic carbon deposition in the Monterey Formation to the Monterey excursion event based on an updated chronostratigraphic framework of the Naples Beach section, California
ABSTRACT The Monterey Formation, consisting of siliceous and calcareous biogenic sediments, was deposited during the transition from a relatively warm greenhouse climate in the early Miocene to the cooler temperatures of icehouse climatic conditions during the early middle to late Miocene. This cooling event was associated with global paleoclimatic and oceanic changes assumed to be related to the deposition of organic carbon–rich sediments into the marginal basins of California. This chapter introduces an age model for the Miocene strata at Naples Beach based on a composite stratigraphic section and standardized data set, providing the framework for the integration of biostratigraphic zones with a series of astronomically tuned siliceous and calcareous microfossil bioevents, an updated strontium isotope stratigraphy, new tephrochronology ages, and ages from specific magnetostratigraphic units. This multidisciplinary approach, utilizing the integration of microfossil disciplines with independent age controls, is critical to obtaining an age resolution of ~200 k.y. for the majority of the Monterey Formation section. This chronostratigraphic framework improves the age control of the boundaries between the California benthic foraminiferal stages and provides more age refinement for the possible hiatus and condensed interval within the Carbonaceous Marl member of the Monterey Formation. The recalibrated ages for the tops of the Miocene benthic foraminiferal stages are Saucesian (ca. 17.4 Ma), Relizian (15.9 Ma), Luisian (13.1 Ma), and Mohnian (7.7 Ma). Also, the time missing in the hiatus between the Luisian and Mohnian is <200 k.y., and the duration of the condensed interval is from 13.0 to 11 Ma. This refined age model provides a correlation of the organic carbon–rich intervals occurring in the Luisian and lower Mohnian stages within the Naples Beach strata to the deep-sea δ 13 C maxima events CM5 (ca. 14.7 Ma) and CM6 (ca. 13.6 Ma), suggesting episodic increases in organic carbon deposition along the continental margins coincided with the Miocene carbon isotope excursion found in deep-sea cores. The transition from the Miocene climatic optimum to the icehouse world consisted of four climatic and oceanic phases (from ca. 17.5 to ca. 7 Ma), which are represented in the onshore section by variations in the organic carbon and phosphate contents, the occurrence of calcareous and siliceous lithologic facies, and the distribution of microfossils, especially changes in the benthic foraminiferal assemblages.
Quaternary chronology and rock uplift recorded by marine terraces, Gaviota coast, Santa Barbara County, California, USA
Observations and Analyses of the 9 January 2018 Debris-Flow Disaster, Santa Barbara County, California
ABSTRACT Montecito, California, has a complicated Quaternary history of debris flows, the most recent being the Montecito debris flows of 9 January 2018, which were wildfire-debris flow–linked events that took 23 lives and damaged or destroyed several hundred homes. Relative flow chronology, based on boulder weathering, incision rates, and soil dates with limited numerical (radiocarbon and exposure) dating, is used to identify paths of prehistoric debris flows. Topography of debris flow fans on the piedmont is significantly affected by the south-side-up reverse Mission Ridge fault system. Examination of weathering rinds from Pleistocene debris flows confirms that the Rattlesnake Creek–Mission ridge debris flows are folded over the ridge, and that lateral propagation linked to uplift of marine terraces (uplift rate of ~0.5–1 m/k.y.) significantly altered debris flow paths. As communities continue to rebuild and live in these hazard-prone areas, disaster risk reduction measures must take into account both spatial and temporal components of vulnerability. This field guide includes four stops from Montecito to Santa Barbara. The first stop will be to observe debris flow stratigraphy over the past ~30 ka beneath an earthquake terrace and a prehistoric Chumash site on the beach near the Biltmore Hotel in Montecito. The second stop will be at San Ysidro Creek in San Ysidro Canyon, the site of the largest Montecito debris flow that occurred on 9 January 2018. We will discuss source area and processes of the debris flow, and take a short hike up the canyon to visit the debris flow basin and a ring net designed to reduce the future hazard. The final two stops will explore the debris flow chronology of Santa Barbara over the past ~100 ka. Figure 1 shows the location of the field-trip stops. There is no road log as field sites can be found with a search on a smartphone.
