Data Release for the 2016 East Bay Seismic Imaging Investigation of the Hayward Fault Zone In October 2016, we acquired an approximately 15-km-long seismic profile along a linear transect across the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay area. Our goal was to image previously unknown strands of the Hayward Fault zone and to better delineate the structure and geometry of the main trace of the Hayward Fault. Our profile started near the southern border of San Leandro, California at the San Francisco Bay shoreline, trended ENE through the northern edge of Castro Valley, California, and ended approximately 5 km WSW of San Ramon, California. The data were analyzed using refraction tomography modeling, reflection processing, and guided-wave analysis. The analyzed data are presented in separate reports by...

HVSR surveys were done at 43 locations between May and September 2018 to refine the understanding of the bedrock-alluvial aquifer transition zone downgradient from the AFRL. Specifically, the data were collected to help determine the depth to bedrock. The HVSR method is a passive seismic technique that uses a three-component seismometer to measure the vertical and horizontal components of ambient seismic noise. Seismic noise in the range of ~0.1 to 1 Hertz (Hz) is caused by ocean waves, large regional storms, and tectonic sources....

SGFZ is a right-lateral fault system that is mainly offshore, and prior studies provide highly variable slip estimates, which indicates uncertainty about the seismic hazard it poses. Therefore, the primary goal of the seismic survey was to better understand the structure and geometry of the onshore section of the Frijoles Fault strand of the SGFZ. We deployed 118 geophones (channels) at 5-m spacing along a linear profile centered on the mapped surface trace of the Frijoles Fault and co-located active P- and S-wave sources...

We acquired two separate profiles across the Hollywood Fault, and from those data, we can evaluate multiple seismic datasets, including guided-wave data, tomographic Vp data, and tomographic Vs data. From the datasets, we can calculate multiple seismic models, including Vp/Vs and Poisson's ratio models derived from tomographic Vp and Vs data, Rayleigh-wave-based Vs models, Love-wave-based Vs models, Vp/Vs and Poisson's ratio models (derived from combinations of tomographic-based Vp and surface-wave-based Vs models), P-wave reflection...

One of the nodes was located immediately outside the vault, and the other was located within the vault, adjacent to a broadband seismometer. The objective of this deployment was to compare recordings of local earthquakes and ambient noise as recorded by very stable broadband recorders in the vault with nodes that were placed within and outside of the vault. The node within the vault was placed in a barrel filled with sand, and the node outside of the vault was placed a few inches below the surface. Both nodes recorded for approximately 28 days.
