Looking south at a stream channel blocked by offset along the Denali fault. Rupture from the 2002 event produced 7.15 +0.65 -0.75m of right-lateral offset, apparent in the grass edge visible to the left of the channel. White tape measure shows the approximate offset across both the major, and one minor, fault strand. Visually removing the 2002 offset reveals a previous bend in the channel and an abandoned section of channel, the result of one or more prior ruptures. Total right-lateral offset since channel incision is 12.4 +/- 1.5m. Site 03-207, km 138.59. Photo by H. Stenner.
Perspective view to the south of an offset stream channel blocked by the 2002 Denali fault rupture. The fault trace extends from mid-center at the left edge of the photo to the upper right corner. Rupture in 2002 offset the channel 7.15 +0.65 -0.75m right-laterally, apparent in the grass edge visible to the left of the channel. F. Cinti for scale. Site 03-207, km 138.59. Photo by H. Stenner.
Aerial view (north towards the top of photo) of a stream channel offset along the Denali fault between the Gakona and Chistochina Glaciers. Rupture from the 2002 event produced 7.15 +0.65 -0.75m of right-lateral offset, as apparent in the offset grass edge to the right of the channel. Removing the 2002 offset reveals a previous bend in the channel along with an abandoned section of channel from one or more prior ruptures. Total right-lateral offset since channel incision is 12.4 +/- 1.5m. Site 03-207, km 138.59. Photo by T. Dawson.
