“…Recent ALS campaigns have yielded digital representations of topography at resolutions suffi cient to make measurements of earthquake-related surface deformation (e.g., Hudnut et al, 2002;Bevis et al, 2005;Oskin et al, 2007Oskin et al, , 2010aOskin et al, , 2010bOskin et al, , 2012Prentice et al, 2009;DeLong et al, 2010;Hilley et al, 2010Hilley et al, , 2012. For example, ALS effectively depicts fault trace geometries and stream channels that are offset by structures such as the San Andreas fault (e.g., Arrowsmith and Zielke, 2009;DeLong et al, 2010). Systematic analyses of these data reveal geomorphic features that are barely perceivable in the fi eld, but can fundamentally change our inferences about paleoseismic records and fault segmentation (e.g., Zielke et al, 2010).…”
