		Surface faulting from the Pleasant Valley earthquake terminated 30 km north of the scarp, and ruptures of the Dixie Valley earthquake terminated 10 km south of the scarp.
		The 1915/1954 scarp crosses the drainage oulet of the graben and faces upslope, thus damming the outlet and trapping sediment.
		Scarp micro-topography was mapped using as Leitz total station, which will form the basis for a contour map with 10 cm contour interval (in progress).

		Although the vertical SCARP tubewells had been highly successful at lowering the water table and reducing soil salinity, they were an unsustainable burden on the government's budget.
		SCARP public tubewells were shut down in the project area but not in the control Ilea.
		While rehabilitation of SCARP tubewells is not a viable alternative, similar community-based measures are being proposed for Pakistan--an optimistic outlook for the future of the country's essential irrigation system.

		Scarp was inhabited until 1970 and many of the former residents now live on the nearby mainland of Harris.
		Though the water can become very shallow, the currents are vicious, so that communications between Scarp and Hushinish were often interrupted in the past.
		This led to a famous experiment in 1930 when there was attempt to transport the mail to Scarp by rocket, but the rocket exploded, damaging the mail.

		In a previous study, a large fault scarp in the southern Arava was trenched and a number of different colluvial wedges, separated by buried soils were identified.
		One trench is in close proximity to the fault scarp and the other is approximately 500 m away from the fault.
		A much larger number of colluvial wedges and associated buried soils were found on the fault scarp than on the terrace riser which indicates that many of the wedges are the result of tectonic activity.

	Farmers to bid adieu to SCARP project -DAWN - National; April 12, 2007
		An official of SCARP plan in Muzaffargarh, Muhammad Asharf told Dawn that the orders to close down the tubewells had been issued in 2002, but the local officials kept on running those tubewells that were in good condition.
		Mr Abbas said he, together with other local farmers, were maintaining SCARP tubewells of Beghwala for the last four years and had spent Rs200,000 on their maintenance.
		SCARP sub-engineer Abdul Samad said they would close down tubewells under Alipur phase, Rangpur phase and Kot Addu phase and the process would be completed within three months.

	USGS Earthquake Hazards Program » Sangre de Cristo Fault Rito Seco Trenching Study
		Fault scarps in late Quaternary deposits are relatively common along much of this part of the fault.
		The fault scarp on older deposits is higher than on younger deposits, which is evidence that earthquakes large enough to break the ground surface have occurred repeatedly here in geologically recent time.
		In this trench, we identified at least three and probably four wedges of scarp colluvium that we distinguished on the basis of their color, degree of induration, amount of calcium carbonate, and quantity of gravel clasts ; each wedge is the depositional record of a separate surface-rupturing earthquake (Fig.

		Sometimes called an escarpment, a scarp is any roughly linear slope or cliff.
		While we will focus on scarps formed by the action of faults, they can also be formed by erosion, or other means.
		The existence of a particular type of "blind" fault is usually expressed at the surface as a chain of hills, or a rounded scarp, and by the folding of local rock formations.

		The scarp top is characterised by a Bronze Age barrows clustered along the skyline and strategically located Iron Age hill forts, with the prehistoric route of the Ridgeway, running along the scarp top.
		The western part of the scarp is extensively wooded with linear ‘hanger' woodlands clinging to the steep ground along the scarp, as well as smaller wooded coombes.
		Surprisingly, many of the parishes within this Downs Plain and Scarp landscape type have experienced a small decrease in their population over the past 20 years, which is interesting given their location on the edge of the AONB and comparative accessibility to expanding areas such as Didcot and Swindon.

		In eastern North Carolina, the western advance of the sea during each melting of the glaciers is marked by a sand ridge called a 'scarp.' The land to the east of each scarp is called a 'terrace.' The scarps and terraces occur at lower elevations and are younger from west to east.
		The Western boundary of the Pamlico Terrace is the Suffolk Scarp, a sand ridge complex that extends from Suffolk, Virginia, through Washington County, to near Morehead City.
		The Suffolk Scarp is the youngest scarp in the county.

	CHAPTER 3
		The main scarp of the Slumgullion landslide lies near the eastern edge of the Uncompahgre-San Juan caldera complex and at the eastern edge of a regional limonitic alteration of rhyolitic volcanic rocks (Lipman, 1976; Sharp and others, 1983; Bove and Hon, 1992).
		We investigated the geology of the main scarp because the geological characteristics and mineralogy of the hydrothermal alteration are important factors in the weakness of the rock, and therefore, in the initiation and intensity of landslide movement.
		The instability of the main scarp is attributed to steep topography, intersection of faults, and to the high degree of alteration of the volcanic rocks.

	Darling Scarp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Darling Scarp (known earlier as Darling Range) is a low escarpment running North-South to the East of the Swan Coastal Plain and Perth, Western Australia.
		The scarp forms adivide between the hypersaline groundwaters typical of the Yilgarn Craton basement from the fresh groundwaters of the Perth Basin.
		Some dams along the scarp are contaminated by seepage of saline water from the granite into the base of the dam's water column and must be periodically flushed to preserve water quality.

		In mid-afternoon she left the ruins and walked to the brink of Endless Scarp, where she sat under a dead tree, her feet dangling over the immense drop, and waited for night to fall.
		They carted water across the coastal hills to the village on the Scarp and the fertile land around it, but the stations broke down, or were vandalized by the Peri, or taken in storms, and the supply of brackish water stopped.
		She looked at the desert, remembering ravines and ridges, hollows, mud holes, the dry clatter of insects and the way they tasted, small plants clinging to the shade of rocks, the immensity of detail that seemed, from this height, to sum to nothing, and yet was so much more.

	1857 FAULT SCARP, SAN ANDREAS FAULT, WRIGHTWOOD, CALIFORNIA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The photo to the left shows the scarp created by the 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake in the area of Wrightwood, California.
		Much of the position of this scarp was deduced from photographs taken in the 1930s, when vegetation typical of groundwater seepage controlled by the fault scarp, notably willow shrubs, grew in many places along the scarp.
		The two homes (and others like them) constructed on both sides of the scarp could be at considerable risk from the next earthquake, which is liable to be a magnitude of 8 or so, a major seismic event.

	USGS Photo Glossary: More photos of faults
		Scientists measure the distance between two benchmarks spanning the fault scarp of a thrust fault on the crater floor of Mount St. Helens.
		This scarp developed on the crater floor in 1981 as magma rose into the lava dome (backgound) before erupting onto its surface.
		The large-scale offsets and associated seismicity in the south flank are thought to result from gravitational instability of this part of the volcano and from the repeated injection of magma into Kilauea's east rift zone.

	Multiple late Holocene earthquakes along the Reelfoot fault, central New Madrid seismic zone
		The Reelfoot fault is an east vergent, reverse fault underlying the Lake County uplift, a low-amplitude, late Holocene anticline bordered on the east by the 32-km-long Reelfoot scarp.
		We interpret the scarp as a fault-propagation fold developed over a west dipping reverse fault interpreted from shallow seismic reflection data.
		The 1811–1812 episode of deformation produced abundant liquefaction, prominent folding of fluvial strata along the scarp, and minor faulting in the graben.

		In this study, examination of an older scarp adjacent to the late Holocene scarp revealed buried evidence of late Holocene faulting below the base of the older scarp.
		Below the ancient scarp, late Holocene displacement at the fault plane is estimated to be about 3 ft; if nearby downwarping also reflects late Holocene faulting then the total displacement for the late Holocene would be considerably greater.
		The fine-earth zone is deposited later by small streams that cross the scarp and by overland flow, and commonly buries the skeletal zone in part.

	Digital Curation Centre: DCC SCARP Project
		DCC SCARP aims to discover much more about disciplinary approaches by substantial case studies based on an immersive approach, where we will work in detail with projects over weeks and months rather than days.
		In addition, a strong aim of this project is not only to discover more about disciplinary differences, but also to apply known good practice, where possible to identify new lessons from practice in these discipline areas, and potentially developing new good practice, leading to real changes either in that discipline or in others.
		The Image Store Project is a project within the DCC SCARP Project that aims to determine the requirements for effective curation of scientific research images, video and associated data from the biological domain, to enable both long-term preservation and digital re-use for meta-research and teaching.
