Three-Dimensional Geologic Map of the San Andreas Fault Zone Between Gold Hill and Pinnacles National Park, California

A three-dimensional geologic map was created by assembling eight geologic cross sections derived from geologic mapping, potential field geophysics, and petroleum well logs. The central feature of the map is the San Andreas Fault, with many other prominent structural features depicted that express the regional transpressional tectonic setting.   
The subsurface interpretation was based on existing two-dimensional geologic mapping and modified by new geologic mapping by USGS geologists between 2005-2014. Existing gravitational anomaly and magnetic anomaly maps helped guide subsurface interpretations. The result is a three-dimensional model that depicts the geologic units, faults, and folds of the region in a model that can be viewed from any perspective and sliced in any direction. 
Once the map was assembled, kinematic modeling was conducted using the modeling software’s forward and reverse deformation algorithms. These exercises were in part experimental, to assess how well the software’s kinematic algorithms work in this setting. But these experiments have also yielded insights into the geologic history of the region. An experiment with fault motion algorithms revealed a possible mechanism for the creation of secondary faults. Retro-deforming a syncline was also performed to approximate the amount of contraction caused by compressional stress in the region.

Data for a Comprehensive Survey of Fault Zones, Breccias, and Fractures in and Flanking the Eastern Española Basin, Rio Grande Rift, New Mexico

This release provides the data for a comprehensive survey of geologic structures in the eastern Española Basin of the Rio Grande rift, New Mexico. The release includes data and analyses from 53 individual fault zones and 22 other brittle structures, such as breccia zones, joints, and veins, investigated at a total of just over 100 sites.  Structures were examined and compared from poorly lithified Tertiary sediments, as well as Paleozoic sedimentary and Proterozoic crystalline rocks.  Data and analyses, include geologic maps; field observations and measurements; orientation, kinematic paleostress analyses and modeling; statistical examination of 575 fault trace lengths derived from aeromagnetic data in the Española and adjacent basins; mineralogy and chemistry of host and fault rocks; and investigation of fault versus bolide impact hypotheses for the origin of enigmatic breccias found in the Proterozoic basement rocks.  Kinematic and paleostress analyses suggest a record of transitional, and perhaps partitioned, strains from the Laramide orogeny through Rio Grande rifting.  Normal faults within Tertiary basin fill sediments are consistent with more typical WNW-ESE Rio Grande extension, perhaps decoupled from bedrock structures due to strength contrasts favoring the formation of new faults in the relatively weak sediments.  Analyses of the fault length data indicate power law length distributions similar to those reported from many geologic settings globally.  Mineralogy and chemistry in Proterozoic fault-related rocks reveal geochemical changes tied to hydrothermal alteration and nearly isochemical transformation of feldspars to clay minerals.  In sediments, fault rocks are characterized by mechanical entrainment with minor secondary chemical changes.  Enigmatic breccias are autoclastic, isochemical with respect to their protoliths, and occur near shatter cones believed to be related to a pre-Pennsylvanian impact event.  A weak iridium anomaly is associated with the breccias as well as adjacent protoliths, thus an impact shock wave cannot be ruled out for their origin. The types of faults, associated brittle structures, and geochemical attributes provided here can aid in development of conceptual models and approaches useful in identifying testable hypotheses grounded in geological data when assessing  ground- and surface-water resources.

PNG formatted images of mulitchannel boomer seismic-reflection profiles collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in Vineyard Sound and Buzzards Bay, MA, 2010.

These data were collected under a cooperative agreement between the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC). Initiated in 2003, the primary objective of this program is to develop regional geologic framework information for the management of coastal and marine resources. Accurate data and maps of seafloor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine resources, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore waters of coastal Massachusetts, primarily in water depths of 2-30 meters. Data collected for the mapping cooperative have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (https://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/). The data collected in this study area are located in both Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound and are primarily in the shallow water areas around the eastern Elizabeth Islands and Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The data include high resolution bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter intensity, sound velocity in water, seismic-reflection profiles, and navigation data. These data were collected during several cruises between 2007 and 2011 onboard the R/V Rafael using the following equipment: an SEA Ltd SwathPlus interferometric sonar (234 kHz), Klein 3000 dual frequency sidescan sonar, a boomer source and Geometrics 8-channel GeoEel streamer, a Knudsen 3200 subbottom profiling system, and 4 GPS antennae.

Supporting groundwater salinity data used for salinity mapping adjacent to the Lost Hills and Belridge oil fields, Kern County, California

This dataset contains summarized historical groundwater salinity observations from wells near the Lost Hills and Belridge oil fields in the southwestern San Joaquin Valley, Kern County, California. Total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration, electrical fluid conductivity (EC), and well construction information were aggregated from public data sources and local water management agencies. Trends in total-dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations and fluid conductivity were assessed on a well-by-well basis to develop a dataset of salinity observations to support the interpretation of resistivity data derived from an airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey flown in October 2016.  Results of the trend analysis were used to identify wells that were stable with respect to three salinity categories between 2004 and 2014: fresh (TDS less than 3000 mg/L), brackish (TDS between 3,000 and 10,000 mg/L), and saline (TDS greater than 10,000 mg/L).  Salinity observations considered to be contemporary with respect to the AEM survey (2015-2018) are also included in this dataset.

Datasets used to evaluate the effects of antecedent streamflow and sample timing on trend assessments of fish, invertebrate and diatom communities across the United States, 2002-12 (output)

Detecting trends in biological attributes is central to many stream monitoring programs; however, understanding how natural variability in environmental factors affects trend results is not well understood. We evaluated the influence of antecedent streamflow and sample timing (covariates) on trend estimates for fish, invertebrate, and diatom taxa richness and biological condition from 2002 to 2012 at 51 sites distributed across the conterminous United States. This data release contains all of the input and output files necessary to reproduce the results presented and discussed in the associated journal article.

MODFLOW 2000 and MT3DMS models of potentiometric head and trichloroethene concentration at the Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant, Fridley, Minnesota

This model is a preliminary characterization of trichloroethene transport in the surficial and 
Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer systems at the Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant in Fridley, 
Minnesota. The characterization first considered 2001 conditions using a MODFLOW and 
MT3DMS, followed by an application of this 2001 model to 2011 conditions. The U.S. 
Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Department of the Navy, used the 
steady-state, uniform-density groundwater flow model MODFLOW to calculate potentiometric 
heads in aquifer systems on August 20, 2001; and the single-phase, conservative, non-reactive, 
miscible transport model MT3DMS to calculate trichloroethene concentrations in aquifer systems 
measured in 2001.

In situ turbidity data for urban and forested reference watersheds in Clarksburg, Maryland USA (2010-2012)

This dataset describes in stream turbidity for watersheds included in a paired watershed study including a forested reference watershed and three urban watersheds with centralized or decentralized stormwater management in Clarksburg, Maryland USA. Turbidity was monitoring from June 2010 to December 2010, March 2011 to December 2011 and June 2012 to October 2012 in For-MD and Cent-MD, and only the 2011-2012 time period in Dist-MD. Mean turbidity in NTU was recorded at 5-minute intervals during the 2010-2012 monitoring seasons with a Forest Technology Systems, Digital Turbidity Sensor DTS-12. Mean turbidity was computed from 100 instantaneous recordings during the time interval. Sensor accuracy is ±2% of reading (0-399 NTU) and ±4% of reading (400-1,600 NTU), with a turbidity range of 0 to 1,600 NTU.

BLM LR2000 geothermal authorizations for the Sagebrush Mineral-Resource Assessment (SaMiRA) aggregated by Public Land Survey System (PLSS) section boundaries

The polygon (vector) shapefiles represent Public Land Survey System (PLSS) sections, or 1-square mile areas of land, with information about Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land and mineral use authorizations for geothermal. The land areas specified by BLM authorizations vary in size and orientation, and may cross one or more PLSS section boundaries. For spatial consistency, the information was aggregated to the square mile PLSS section boundary. The original source data from BLM Cases Recordation database (LR2000) were specific to the day they were generated (March 6, 2016) and subsequent data pulls will likely be different.

Aquatic prey resources in response to estuary restoration in Willapa Bay, Washington (2014-2015)

The ongoing restoration of more than 200 hectares of estuarine habitat at Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, southwestern Washington, is expected to benefit a variety of species, including salmonids that use estuarine and tidal marshes as rearing and feeding areas as well as migratory waterbirds. During March through June 2014 and 2015, this study was initiated to assess aquatic prey resources. We collected data on environmental variables and invertebrate community structure, and the taskforce provided salmonid diet data at restored (Lewis Stream and Porter Point) and reference (Greenhead Slough and Ellsworth Creek) sites. We analyzed these data to determine the functional capacity of the estuary for supporting invertebrate prey resources for fish following restoration.
