Datasets documenting limited evidence of Late Pleistocene tectonic surface deformation in the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone, Tennessee, USA

August 6, 2024

These datasets provide lineament mapping, catchment-averaged metrics of hypsometry and channel steepness, field observations, and a structure from motion model and orthomosiac photograph of sites in the Eastern Tennessee seismic zone in eastern Tennessee, USA. The lineament mapping contains linework of possible neotectonic features mapped from 1-m lidar data. Catchment-averaged metric of hypsometry and channel steepness are for selected catchments along the Powell River in northern Tennessee. Field observations provides points and notes of reconnaissance fieldwork to describe and document select lineaments in the Powell River and Oak Ridge areas. The structure from motion model and orthomosiac photograph document the Little River exposure described in previous studies. These datasets are associated with the manuscript: Thompson Jobe, J. A., R. W. Briggs, R. D. Gold, L. Bauer, and C. Collett (in review). Limited evidence for Late Pleistocene tectonic surface deformation in the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone, USA.
