The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geology, Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center (GGGSC) collaborated with the USGS Science Analytics and Synthesis (SAS) team to preserve and release a subset of magnetotelluric data from the San Andreas Fault in Loma Prieta, California. The San Andreas Fault data were collected by the Branch of Geophysics, a precursor to the now GGGSC, between 1989 and 1994. The magnetotelluric data selected for this preservation project were collected in 1989 and 1990 using USGS portable truck mounted systems that measure the distribution of electrical conductivity beneath the surface of the earth. Truck mounted systems of this era output data to 3.5” discs, from which data were recovered...
These data provide measures of aseismic slip (creep) at approximately 40 sites located on the San Andreas, Hayward, and Calaveras faults in Central California from Point Pinole located in the San Francisco Bay area to south of Parkfield, California. The earliest measurement of creep followed the 1966 Parkfield earthquake. Currently, we maintain approximately 20 creepmeters and those data are uploaded to the web daily. The data provided at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/monitoring/deformation/data/download/table.php include measurements for sites that have been abandoned. The table provides the location of each creepmeter, and where present, notes that might be relevant to interpreting the data from each instrument.
