Canie, I've worked with Mark in the past, and still will give him a call once in a while. He has published and presented on uplifts as small as some of the offshore knolls or as large as Catalina Island being due to contraction across double bends in strike-slip faults. I and some peopel I work with think that some larger features in the far outer Borderland, and some other relative uplifts like Palos Verdes and the offshore shelves, are due to regional thrust faulting less directly tied to strike-slip faulting. Mark Legg would be correct at some scale, the question is whether the regional thrust faults exist.

Yup, I have never had a shortage of things to write up. I don't write that well (although am much better than 15 years ago), so most papers take me a really long time to get published. Two exceptions were a letter on the North Anatolian fault and a paper in "Geology" on West Antarctic glaciation.
