Summary

Geophysical properties (P-wave velocity, gamma ray density, and magnetic susceptibility), geochronologic (radiocarbon, excess Lead-210, and Cesium-137), and geochemical data (organic carbon content and 60 element contents) are reported for select vibracores collected aboard the S/V Retriever October 17-20, 2016 in San Pablo Bay, California. Geophysical properties were measured with a Geotek Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL). Radiocarbon was measured by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). Excess Lead-210 and Cesium-137 activities were measured by gamma-ray counting in a high purity, low background germanium well detector (HPGe). Total organic carbon was measured in bulk sediment. Element contents were determined on the less than 0.063 [...]

Purpose

Geophysical, geochronological, and geochemical data were used to characterize the timing and nature of recent deformation along the Hayward-Rodgers Creek fault within northern San Pablo Bay. This work was funded by the USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program and the USGS San Francisco Bay-Delta Priority Ecosystem Science Program.
