Abstract: Santa Catalina Island (SCI) sits offshore of Palos Verdes Peninsula (PVP) within the Southern California Continental Borderland (SCCB). Paleomagnetic data suggests that SCI and PVP rotated approximately 90° clockwise since the early Miocene during the same tectonic episode that rotated and translated the Western Transverse Range into its present-day location. A more recent paleomagnetic study on PVP, indicated little to no rotation. PVP and SCI share similar geology, so an updated paleomagnetic study on SCI was needed to address the possibility of a similar discrepancy.

This volume addresses the tectonic complexity and diversity of strike-slip restraining and releasing bends with 18 contributions divided into four thematic sections: a topical review of fault bends and their global distribution; bends, sedimentary basins and earthquake hazards; restraining bends, transpressional deformation and basement controls on development; releasing bends, transtensional deformation and fluid flow.
