The relative motion of the Pacific plate with respect to the North America plate is partitioned between transcurrent faults located along the western margin of Baja California and transform faults and spreading ridges in the Gulf of California. However, the amount of right lateral offset along the Baja California western margin is still...
To better define the morphotectonic elements and tectonic development of the Mid-Rivera-Transform Discordance, multibeam bathymetric, seafloor backscatter, multichannel seismic reflection and total field marine magnetic data were collected along the entire Rivera Transform west of 107W during the BART and FAMEX campaigns of the N.O. L'Atalante...

The interaction of the Pacific-Farallon spreading centers with the North American convergent margin off Baja California, Mexico, supposedly ceased at 12 Ma, when plate convergence and seafloor spreading stopped. We propose a new geodynamic evolution based on full bathymetry coverage and magnetic profiles from 23°N to 27°N (Famex cruise of the...
During the FAMEX cruise of the R/V L'Atalante (April 2002), swath bathymetry and seismic profiles were recorded along the Baja California margin from 23°to 27°N. The upper-slope of the margin exhibits active faulting of recent sediments along the Tosco-Abreojos fault system (TAFS). Flower structures evidence strike-slip motion along the TAFS....
The direction of convergence between the Rivera and North American plates becomes progressively more oblique (in a counter-clockwise sense as measured relative to the trench-normal direction) northwestward along the Jalisco subduction zone. By analogy to other subduction zones, the forces resulting from this distribution of convergence...
