High-Resolution Structure-From-Motion Models And Orthophotos Of The Southern Sections Of The 2019 M-W 7.1 And 6.4 Ridgecrest Earthquakes Surface Ruptures

Aerial photographs were collected in the days immediately following the 4-5 July 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence (e.g., Barnhart et al. , 2019) along the publically accessible sections of the surface ruptures south of California 178. These photos were then used to produce structure-from-motion point cloud models and orthophotos with resolutions varying from similar to 1 to 20 cm = pixel. Here, the models are released and initial observations of the nature of the surface ruptures are presented.
