Datasets documenting lineament mapping and neotectonic observations in northern New Mexico

August 6, 2024

These datasets provide remotely mapped lineaments and neotectonic observations in northern New Mexico, based on 1-m lidar and satellite imagery data. Some lineaments are interpreted to be Quaternary-active faults, whereas others are interpreted to be older bedrock faults with no evidence for Quaternary movement. Simplified fault traces for interpreted Quaternary-active faults are provided for seismic hazard studies. These datasets are associated with the publication: Thompson Jobe, J.A. and Chupik, C.M., in press, Low-rate faulting on the margin of the Colorado Plateau and Rio Grande Rift in north-central New Mexico: Tectonics.
