This geologic database is a digitized version of the 1:24,000-scale original analog geologic map titled "Geologic map of the Parker NW, Parker, and parts of the Whipple Mountains SW and Whipple Wash quadrangles, California and Arizona", published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1980. The map area straddles the Arizona-California border and includes the community of Parker, AZ, and the southeastern part of the Whipple Mountains, where the prominent Whipple Mountains Detachment Fault separates lower plate Cretaceous and older gneisses from upper plate crystalline, volcanic, and sedimentary rocks. The Whipple Mountains are surrounded by numerous Neogene sedimentary units that record the arrival and subsequent...
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...
In June of 2021, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a high-resolution seismic survey at Winters, California. Seismic data were acquired using a DTCC SmartSolo 3-component nodal seismograph system ("node"), which continuously recorded at 2000 samples per second. Nodes were deployed 5 meters apart from west-southwest to east-northeast to create an approximately 800-m-long linear profile. P-wave data were generated primarily using a 500-lb (227-kg) accelerated weight drop at each recording station. In areas of difficult access, P-wave data were generated using a sledgehammer striking a steel plate. S-wave data were generated using a sledgehammer horizontally striking an aluminum block anchored to the ground. Every...

In June of 2011, the U.S. Geological Survey acquired high-resolution P- and S-wave seismic data across the mapped (Schussler, 1906) trace of the San Andreas Fault zone at San Andreas Lake in unincorporated San Mateo County, California. Our seismic survey consisted of seismic reflection, refraction, and guided-wave data along a 60-m-long profile. To acquire the reflection and refraction data we co-located shots and geophones, spaced every meter along the profile. We used 59 SercelTM L40A, P-wave (40-Hz vertical-component) geophones (sensitivity of 22.34 volts/meter/second) to record 59 P-wave shots and 59 SercelTM L28-LBH, S-wave (4.5-Hz horizontal-component) geophones (sensitivity of 31.3 volts/meter/second)to record...

Faults in the study area are commonly coated with synkinematic calcite, and we use laser ablation inductively-coupled mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U-Pb geochronology to determine the timing of this mineralization. This dataset presents the results of those analyses and age determinations of different samples and sample subsets. These datasets are associated with a manuscript accepted for publication: Mavor, S.P., Bennett, S.E.K., Crow, R.S., Singleton, J.S., Langenheim, V., Stockli, D., Stelten, M., Brickey, T.A., Sr., Umhoefer, P.J., and Beard, L.S., 2023, Evolution of Miocene normal and dextral faulting in the lower Colorado River region near Blythe, California, USA: Geosphere, v. 19, https://doi.org/10.1130/GES02608.1.
This item contains a collection of ground photographs taken at the observation stations listed in the above title, showing tectonic faulting and/or ground deformation features produced by the Mw 6.0 South Napa earthquake of August 24, 2014. It is a subset of the a larger collection of photographs found at Photographs of Fault Rupture and Ground Deformation Features Produced by the Mw 6.0 South Napa Earthquake. These photographs may be viewed or downloaded here, but are best viewed in context with fault rupture and other observations from the related KMZ file of summary field observations and photographs obtained during post-earthquake investigations of the Mw 6.0 South Napa Earthquake of August 24, 2014, or from...
This product is the result of a comprehensive compilation of site-specific field descriptions and displacement measurements where tectonic faulting and ground failure produced visible deformation that fractured and disturbed the ground surface. The resultant data is distributed as a tab-delimited text file. All post-earthquake ground rupture observations and slip/displacement measurements are those in the public domain, including data that have been published in summary reports elsewhere.
This item contains linework that represents fault rupture and ground deformation features interpreted from field-based maps and observations, as well as airborne imagery, lidar, and geodetic imagery products. Provisional maps of fault rupture and ground deformation are composed of a “mashup” of linework from these various sources, obtained and compiled as of December, 2019. If more than one linework representation exists for a segment of the fault rupture, linework showing the most rupture detail or best location accuracy, based on the judgment of the compiler, is preserved. On provisional maps, less than 25% of the linework is derived from high-resolution optical imagery and detailed field mapping. Because line...

This part of DS 781 presents data for the faults of the Punta Gorda to Point Arena, California, region. The vector data file is included in the "Faults_PuntaGordaToPointArena.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/P9PNNI9H. Faults in the Punta Gorda and Point Arena region are identified on seismic-reflection data based on abrupt truncation or warping of reflections and (or) juxtaposition of reflection panels with different seismic parameters such as reflection presence, amplitude, frequency, geometry, continuity, and vertical sequence. Faults were primarily mapped by interpretation of seismic reflection profile data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey between 2010 and 2012.

In June of 2020, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a high-resolution seismic survey at Edwards Air Force Base in Kern County, California. Seismic data were acquired using a DTCC SmartSolo 3-component nodal seismometer system ("node"), which continuously recorded at 2000 samples per second. Nodes were deployed 5 meters apart along a southwest-northeast trend to create an approximately 3-km-long linear profile. P-wave data were generated primarily using a 500-lb (227-kg) accelerated weight drop at each recording station. P-wave data were also generated at every 40 stations using downhole explosions, and fault-zone-guided-wave data were generated using explosive sources that were placed within a mapped trace of...

Transient electromagnetic (TEM) soundings were made in the San Luis Valley, Colorado, to map the location of a blue clay unit as well as to investigate the presence of suspected faults. A total of 147 soundings were made near and in Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, and an additional 6 soundings were made near Hansen Bluff on the eastern edge of the Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge. The blue clay is a significant hydrologic feature in the area that separates an unconfined surface aquifer from a deeper confined aquifer. Knowledge of its location is important to regional hydrological models. Previous analysis of well logs has shown that the blue clay has a resistivity of 10 ohm-meters or less, which is...
