NeoKinema is one of my KINEMATIC (data-driven, as opposed to physics-driven) finite-element
codes.  It uses a combination of: active fault traces, dips, rakes, geologic slip rates,
geodetic velocities, geodetic covariance matrix, stress directions, and relative plate
rotations as input.  As output it provides estimates of: long-term velocity, interseismic velocity,
long-term strain-rates, interseismic strain-rates, long-term fault slip rates, and modeled stress
directions.  

A NeoKinema model of neotectonics of the western conterminous United States, including California,
was developed in 2010-2013 for the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast version 3
(UCERF3) and National Seismic Hazard Map update of 2014 (NSHM-WUS2014).  Full details including
programs, input files, output files, and graphical files can be found in another folder
on this web site:

An important note is that this model does not include the Cascadia subduction zone fault
itself.  Instead, we left the Cascadia fault just outside the model domain, and used
GPS velocities which Rob McCaffrey had corrected (by removing secular strain accumulation
in Cascadia) during the NeoKinema modeling.  This was done because McCaffrey's model of the
Cascadia fault is considerably more detailed and accurate than what NeoKinema could have 
provided.  The result is self-consistent.

Elizabeth Hearn took this NeoKinema model and used it to compute estimates of the interseismic
stressing-rates in southern California, for use in the Southern California Earthquake Center
(SCEC) Community Stress Model (CRM).  The metadata for this 2013 stressing-rate model is here:

Please note that she advises ignoring the very high stressing-rates in narrow elements along
active "fault corridors."
