Faulting and Folding of the Transgressive Surface Offshore Ventura Records Deformational Events in the Holocene
Identifying the offshore thrust faults of the Western Transverse Ranges that could produce large earthquakes and seafloor uplift is essential to assess potential geohazards for the region. The Western Transverse Ranges in southern California are an E-W trending fold-and-thrust system that extends offshore west of Ventura. Using a high-resolution seismic CHIRP dataset, we have identified the Last Glacial Transgressive Surface (LGTS) and two Holocene seismostratigraphic units. Deformation of the LGTS, together with onlapping packages that exhibit divergence and rotation across the active structures, provide evidence for three to four deformational events with vertical uplifts ranging from 1 to 10 m. Based on the depth of the LGTS and the Holocene sediment thickness, age estimates for the deformational events reveal a good correlation with the onshore paleoseismological results for the Ventura-Pitas Point fault and the Ventura-Avenue anticline. The observed deformation along the offshore segments of the Ventura-Pitas Point fault and Ventura-Avenue anticline trend diminishes toward the west. Farther north, the deformation along the offshore Red Mountain anticline also diminishes to the west with the shortening stepping north onto the Mesa-Rincon Creek fault system. These observations suggest that offshore deformation along the fault-fold structures moving westward is systematically stepping to the north toward the hinterland. The decrease in the amount of deformation along the frontal structures towards the west corresponds to an increase in deformation along the hinterland fold systems, which could result from a connection of the fault strands at depth. A connection at depth of the northward dipping thrusts to a regional master detachment may explain the apparent jump of the deformation moving west, from the Ventura-Pitas Point fault and the Ventura-Avenue anticline to the Red Mountain anticline, and then, from the Red Mountain anticline to the Mesa-Rincon Creek fold system. Finally, considering the maximum vertical uplift estimated for events on these structures (max ∼10 m), along with the potential of a common master detachment that may rupture in concert, this system could generate a large magnitude earthquake (>Mw 7.0) and a consequent tsunami.Depto. de Geodinámica, Estratigrafía y PaleontologíaFac. de Ciencias GeológicasTRUEUnión Europea.

Comparing Notes: Recording and Criticism
This chapter charts the ways in which recording has changed the nature of music criticism. It both provides an overview of the history of recording and music criticism, from the advent of Edison’s Phonograph to the present day, and examines the issues arising from this new technology and the consequent transformation of critical thought and practice
Wider Still and Wider: British Music Criticism since the Second World War
This chapter provides the first historical examination of music criticism in Britain since the Second World War. In the process, it also challenges the simplistic prevailing view of this being a period of decline from a golden age in music criticism

Seven Ages of Man
In recognition of National Library Week, April 2-9, 2022, the artwork \u27The Seven Ages of Man\u27 by Rockwell Kent is being highlighted. The illustrations, \u27Boy with Books\u27 and \u27Embrace\u27, are from a 1918 portfolio inspired by As You Like It by William Shakespeare.
Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) began his studies at the Columbia University School of Architecture, however, his summers spent at William Merritt Chase\u27s art school in Long Island shifted his educational focus to the permanent study of art. His scholarship to the Art Students League in New York expanded his network of American artists, which included Robert Henri, George Bellows, Abbott Handerson Thayer and Edward Hopper. His early landscape paintings were first shown at the Society of American Artists in 1904 and his first solo show was held at the Clausen Galleries in 1907 in New York.
In the 1920\u27s, Rockwell Kent began experimenting in various forms of printmaking, which included bookplates and illustrations for classic literature limited book editions such as Moby Dick by Herman Melville and Chaucer\u27s Canterbury Tales. His art and writing were inspired by his explorations to rugged terrains as Alaska and St. John\u27s Newfoundland between 1935-1962. His 1930 memoir, N by E, documented his voyage from New York Harbor to Greenland and is an example of his literary work. His work features symbolic motifs from the natural world as mountains and starry landscapes to create a sense of wonder.https://digitalcommons.kettering.edu/selections_archives_humanitiesartcenter/1001/thumbnail.jp
