Digital data documenting the evolution of Miocene normal and dextral faulting in the lower Colorado River region near Blythe, California, USA

These datasets provide the measurements and analytical data used to describe the evolution of Neogene faulting near Blythe, California. The data include structural measurements and results from Ar-Ar and U-Pb geochronology that address the research questions of the associated publication. Structural measurement datasets provide fault surface kinematic measurements and tabulations of structural dat

Stress transfer modeling of Great Basin, USA structural discontinuities; Data and MATLAB functions (ver. 1.1, June 2023)

This digital dataset contains the stress transfer modeling code (MATLAB functions) and folder tree needed to calculate stress transfer modeling on ten different common structural settings for hydrothermal systems in the Great Basin. Some of these functions were written or adapted from other published work. When this is the case the citation/location of the original code is noted in the comments. T

Mapped polygons of landslides triggered by the 2016-2017 storm season, eastern San Francisco Bay region, California

The winter rainy season of 2016-2017 brought abundant rainfall to the state of California, including the San Francisco Bay region. Thousands of shallow landslides were triggered as a result of saturated soils and intense rainfall from strong winter storms in January and February 2017. The highest concentration of landslides from these storms occurred in the eastern part of the bay region, where la

Gravity and physical property data, basin depth of the Hayfork graben, and horizontal gradient maxima of the southern Klamath Mountains, California

This data release contains principal facts of gravity measurements collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2013-2022, a compilation of existing and new density and magnetic susceptibility data, horizontal gradient maxima derived from gravity and magnetic potential fields, and depth of Cenozoic basin fill in the Hayfork basin from inversion of gravity data of the southern Klamath Mountains, Cali

Gravity Data in the eastern Mojave Desert, California and Nevada

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected gravity data in the eastern Mojave Desert, California and Nevada as an aid to characterizing the regional geologic framework. Gravity stations were located between approximately lat 35°10’ and 35°50’ N. and long 115°05’ and 115°50’ W. and were distributed from west to east across parts of Shadow Valley, Clark Mountain Range, Mescal Range, Ivanpah Valley,

Stillwater Complex, Montana—logs of core drilled by Stillwater Mining Company and Anaconda Copper Corp. in the Stillwater Mine area, 1983 to 1989

This dataset includes TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) images of graphic drill core logs showing associated drill core information, a TIFF image of the explanation for the lithology and structure sections of the logs, an Esri shapefile of the locations of the drill holes, and 12 .csv files of tabular data that were compiled from handwritten drill core logs. The drill core is from the Stillwater Min

Modified basal contact of the Tertiary Lares Limestone in the vicinity of Utuado, Puerto Rico, USA, derived from USGS Open-File Report 98-038

This dataset comprises a vector shapefile of the Puerto Rico geologic map from Bawiec et al. (1999), clipped to study areas in the Lares, Utuado, and Naranjito municipalities, with a modified basal contact of the Tertiary Lares Limestone (Tla) re-mapped using a lidar-derived digital elevation model (DEM) (USGS, 2018). The limestone unit of interest forms a prominent break in slope with the underly

Digital Database for the Preliminary Surficial Geologic Map of Leuhman Ridge and the Surrounding Area, Edwards Air Force Base and Air Force Research Laboratory, Kern and San Bernardino Counties, California

This Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) database contains all the geologic map information used to publish the Preliminary Surficial Geologic Map of Leuhman Ridge and the Surrounding Area, Edwards Air Force Base and Air Force Research Laboratory, Kern and San Bernardino Counties, California, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2023-1014. This digital map database represents the general distribution of

Regional geophysical maps of the Great Basin, USA

Regional geophysical maps of the Great Basin, USA were generated from new and existing sources to support ongoing efforts to characterize geothermal resource potential in the western US. These include: (1) a provisional regional gravity grid that was produced from data compiled from multiple sources: data collected by the USGS and Utah Geological Survey under various projects, industry sources, an

Tabular geochronologic and geochemical data from metasedimentary and associated rocks in the Lane Mountain area, San Bernardino County, California

This dataset provides geochronologic and geochemical data for selected metasedimentary and associated rock samples collected in the Lane Mountain area about 20 kilometers northwest of Barstow, California. Geochronologic data were obtained for 24 samples, and geochemical data were obtained for 5 of these. The dataset consists of four tables in csv (comma separated values) format: (1) sample localit

Data release for Ice and ocean constraints on early human migrations into North America along the Pacific coast

Founding populations of the first Americans likely occupied parts of Beringia during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) (1). The timing, pathways, and modes of their southward transit remain unknown, but blockage of the interior route by North American ice sheets between ~26-14 cal kyr BP (ka) favors a coastal route during this period. Using models and paleoceanographic data from the North Pacific, we

Geothermal resource favorability: select features and predictions for the western United States curated for DOI 10.1016/j.geothermics.2023.102662

The data contained herein are five input features (i.e., heat flow, distance to the nearest quaternary fault, distance to the nearest quaternary magma body, seismic event density, maximum horizontal stress) and labels (i.e., where known geothermal systems have been identified) from Williams and DeAngelo (2008) and nine favorability maps from Mordensky et al. (2023). The favorability maps are the u
