Scanned Recordings of the Rangely, Colorado (USA) Earthquake Control Experiment (1972)

These are scanned recordings from the Rangely earthquake control experiment that took place from 1969-1974 in the area surrounding Rangely, Colorado. Data were telemetered to Menlo Park, California, where they were recorded on develocorder films. Twelve stations with a total of fourteen channels were recorded and are available in this data set. Data were collected by the US Geological...

A revised inventory of landslides triggered by the March 11, 2011 M9.1 Tohoku Earthquake

Revised dataset of landslides triggered by the 2011 M9.1 Tohoku earthquake. Point data are presented as a csv with new failure types, source type, and impacts to the build environment classification for mapped landslides. This dataset is an extension of the Wartman et al. (2013) landslide inventory following the Tohoku earthquake, and includes the original landslide IDs and type...

Point cloud, raster, and GNSS survey data from laser scanning of a debris flow basin near El Portal, California, USA

This data release is composed of point cloud data from a terrestrial lidar survey, GNSS survey data, and derivative raster data. The data were collected on November 09, 2023. This survey was used to characterize a debris flow basin near El Portal, California for the National Park Service.

Site information and compound concentrations for 15 Iowa streams, 2021

Microplastics, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), and pesticides cause unintentional environmental contamination through many pathways in multiple matrices. This statewide, multi-matrix study examined multiple contaminants of global concern (CGCs) in water, bed sediment, and fish to...

Landslide susceptibility modeling results and maps covering the northwestern, northeastern, southern, and southeastern parts of Minnesota, USA

In unconsolidated glacial sediments and exhumed bedrock of Minnesota, USA, landslides may occur on low-relief steep slopes generated by post-glacial fluvial network development and drainage of glacial lakes. As part of an investigation to understand the link between various environmental variables, post-glacial landscape development, and a previously mapped landslide inventory, we...

High-resolution seismic data acquired at two seismic recording stations (BK.LIND and BK.KARE) in San Joaquin Valley, California

In November of 2021, the U.S. Geological Survey acquired high-resolution P- and S-wave seismic data at two seismic recording stations in Tulare and Fresno counties, California: Berkeley Digital Seismic Network BK.LIND and BK.KARE. We deployed 60 DTCC SmartSolo 3-component nodal seismometers (“nodes”) at 2-m intervals along a linear array at each seismic recording station. The nodes...

High-resolution active-source seismic data acquired near strong-motion recording stations (NSMP 1849 and NSMP 1870) at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Menlo Park, San Mateo County, California

On August 24, 2021, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a high-resolution seismic survey between two strong-motion recording stations located at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) in the City of Menlo Park, San Mateo County, California. The stations are National Strong Motion Project Station (NSMP) 1849 in VAMC building 332 and NSMP Station 1870 in VAMC building 334. The primary...

Nodal Seismometer Recordings of Aftershocks of the 5 December 2024 M 7.0 Offshore Cape Mendocino, California Earthquake

At 10:44:21 local time on December 5, 2024, a M 7.0 earthquake occurred approximately 70 km southwest of Ferndale, California, just west of the Mendocino Triple Junction. Starting the next day, the U.S. Geological Survey deployed nodal seismometers (nodes) in the Eel River Valley, near Cape Mendocino, and along the California Highway 101 corridor to compliment local permanent stations of...

Site characterization of National Strong Motion Program earthquake monitoring stations across Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Kern, and Imperial Counties: with emphasis on geophysical survey of the El Centro Array

Site characterization, with the goal of measuring VS30, was performed at 27 strong motion stations across Central and Southern California. These stations, belonging to the National Strong Motion Program, spanned four counties and varied geophysical environments. Primarily employed were the Simplified Site Characterization Methods (SSCM) as an efficient yet robust method for measuring...

Application of Simplified Site Characterization Method (SSCM) active- and passive-source surveys at 39 sites across California

The Simplified Site Characterization Method (SSCM) was employed to obtain VS30 data at 39 sites across California. These geophysical surveys utilized both active- and passive-source methods wherever site conditions allowed. Primary focus was on characterization of seismic stations. Major regions surveyed include the San Francisco Bay Area, Anza Valley, Imperial Valley, Los Angeles, and...

Correlation-derived seismic phase arrival times from matched-filter studies of Yellowstone (Wyoming) 2017, Kilauea volcano (Hawaii) 2018, and Ridgecrest (California) 2019: A dataset for developing phase-picking neural networks

This dataset contains correlation-derived seismic phase arrival times from three different studies: 1. Maple Creek Earthquake Swarm, Yellowstone, Wyoming, June 11 to September 6, 2017: Shelly, D. R., & J. L. Hardebeck (2019). Illuminating faulting complexity of the 2017 Yellowstone Maple Creek earthquake swarm. Geophysical Research Letters, 46, 2544– 2552. https://doi.org/10.1029...

2022-2023 Arcata, California, Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) experiment: 2022 M6.4 Ferndale Aftershock Sequence

These data are from a Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) experiment in Arcata, CA, that was conducted jointly by the U.S. Geological Survey, Cal Poly Humboldt University, and Luna Inc. A Luna QuantX DAS interrogator was installed in the Arcata Police Station and connected to a fiber owned by Vero Communications that runs from Arcata to Eureka (Figure 1). The interrogator was installed on...
