Angela Jayko
Dr. Jayko is a Scientist Emeritus at the Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center at the U.C. White Mountain Research Station. She came to the USGS in 1979 and returned as an Emeritus. She studied tectonics of convergent margin associations and most recently, she’s focused on the Plio-Pleistocene transtensive deformation.
Dr. Jayko's thesis concerned Late Mesozoic subduction. She studied tectonics of convergent margin associations with work in the continental collision complex of the French Alps, in a Paleozoic transtensive basement tectonics in eastern Australia, and in the Paleozoic fold and thrust belt of central Nevada. Most recently she’s focused on the Plio-Pleistocene transtensive deformation.

Reconnaissance geologic map of the Dixonville 7.5' quadrangle, Oregon
The Dixonville 7.5 minute quadrangle is situated near the edge of two major geologic and tectonic provinces the northernmost Klamath Mountains and the southeastern part of the Oregon Coast Ranges (Figure 1). Rocks of the Klamath Mountains province that lie within the study area include ultramafic, mafic, intermediate and siliceous igneous types (Diller, 1898, Ramp, 1972, Ryberg, 1984)...

Impacts of climate change on landscapes of the eastern Sierra Nevada and western Great Basin
This effort was developed under a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) initiative to sponsor science workshops focusing on various of multidiscipline, multiprogram themes in the arid Southwest. The intent was to use the workshops to explore leading edge questions, as well as to provide better communication and collaboration between USGS and other organizations and agencies. The workshop topics...

Digital Geologic Map of the Nevada Test Site and Vicinity, Nye, Lincoln, and Clark Counties, Nevada, and Inyo County, California
This digital geologic map of the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and vicinity, as well as its accompanying digital geophysical maps, are compiled at 1:100,000 scale. The map compilation presents new polygon (geologic map unit contacts), line (fault, fold axis, metamorphic isograd, dike, and caldera wall) and point (structural attitude) vector data for the NTS and vicinity, Nye, Lincoln, and Clark...

Neogene contraction between the San Andreas fault and the Santa Clara Valley, San Francisco Bay region, California
In the southern San Francisco Bay region of California, oblique dextral reverse faults that verge northeastward from the San Andreas fault experienced triggered slip during the 1989 M7.1 Loma Prieta earthquake. The role of these range-front thrusts in the evolution of the San Andreas fault system and the future seismic hazard that they may pose to the urban Santa Clara Valley are poorly...
