Geologist. Mostly Quaternary. Earthquakes, landscapes, and whatever else looks interesting.

Oil field data does play important role in fault characterization within coastal basins (Los Angeles, Ventura, etc) and Central Valley.

These data do play a role for characterizing thrust faults and other stuff hidden in basins, especially after the 1983 Coalinga EQ. And the oil people figured out the value of drilling anticline-shaped hills long before earthquake geologists became interested.

There’s a lot more seismic activity in California with numerous historic earthquake surface ruptures. Not so much in the PNW. The onshore faults are so much less active. Also: trees.
