Field, Geochemical, Geochronological, and Magnetic Data from a Pliocene basalt flow along the Deschutes River in north-central Oregon
This dataset represents a variety of scientific measurements of basalt rock outcrops in central Oregon, United States. It consists of field observations, geochemical measurements, paleomagnetic directional measurements, magnetic susceptibility, and geochronology data (Ar-Ar methodology). This dataset was collected from 2014-2022 by the authors.
Data supporting the construction of the Three-Dimensional Geologic Map and Geology-based Seismic Velocity Model of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and surrounding region, California
This report includes the previously unpublished primary and derivative data sets that underpin the construction of the three dimensional (3D) geologic map of the upper part of the Earth's crust beneath the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, California. The primary data is X,Y,Z locations of stratigraphic horizons and, to a much lesser extent, geologic structures where penetrated by oil and gas we
Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) version of Wentworth, C.M., Knudsen, K.L., and Witter, R.C., 2023, Quaternary deposits of the 9-county San Francisco Bay Region
This is a conversion of Wentworth and others (2023)[DAS1] to the Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) for inclusion in the National Geologic Map Database. The original publication was in the Alacarte schema commonly used for geologic map databases prior to the release of the now mandatory GeMS. The GIS layers in this release have the same scientific content as the source data release. The source data releas
Digital database for the geologic map along the southern Bartlett Springs fault zone and adjacent area between Cache Creek and Lake Berryessa, Northern Coast Ranges, California
This geologic map database is comprised of new geologic mapping, at a 1:24,000 scale, along the southern Bartlett Springs fault in the northern California Coast Ranges. The map covers an area of 258 square miles in Lake, Napa, Colusa, and Yolo counties, work was undertaken between 2016 and 2021, and supported by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Map Program. This geodatabase contains the most
Ground magnetic data, Spring Valley, White Pine County, Nevada
Rattlesnake Knoll is a small, isolated 30-meter-high mound of igneous breccia in the center of Spring Valley, White Pine County, Nevada. There is a small gravity anomaly associated with the knoll which, when combined with an initial, limited ground magnetic survey, indicates that rocks of the knoll probably extend northward in the subsurface. To explore this possibility, a 16-kilometer ground magn
Maps of elevation trend and detrended elevation for the Great Basin, USA
Topography provides information about the structural controls of the Great Basin and therefore information that may be used to identify favorable structural settings for geothermal systems. Specifically, local relative topography gives information about locations of faults and fault intersections relative to mountains, valleys, or at the transitions between. As part of U.S. Geological Survey effor
Gravity, aeromagnetic, magnetic potential, and physical property data of the Bartlett Springs fault zone and surrounding areas, California
This data release contains principal facts of gravity measurements collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2020-2022, a compilation of existing and new density and magnetic susceptibility data, and gridded magnetic and magnetic potential data of the Bartlett Springs Fault Zone and surrounding areas, northern California. These data support modeling of gravity and magnetic anomalies to characte
Digital Database for the Geologic Map of the Southern Santa Rosa Mountains and Borrego Badlands, San Diego County, Southern California
This digital map database represents the general distribution of bedrock and surficial geologic units, and related data in the Fonts Point and Seventeen Palms 7.5’ quadrangles, California. The database delineates map units that are identified by general age and lithology following the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S. Geological Survey. This investigation delineates the geologic framework of
Data from "Mapping bedrock outcrops in the Sierra Nevada Mountains (California, USA) using machine learning"
Accurate, high-resolution maps of bedrock outcrops are extremely valuable. The increasing availability of high-resolution imagery can be coupled with machine learning techniques to improve regional bedrock maps. This data release contains training data created for developing a machine learning model capable of identifying exposed bedrock across the entire Sierra Nevada Mountains (California, USA).
Panarctic permafrost microbial community and edaphic data collected from 2010-2020
The datasets contained herein include permafrost microbial community taxanomic and functional information using metagenomics from 133 samples across the panarctic. Datasets also include soil edaphic and location data.
Quaternary deposits of the 9-county San Francisco Bay Region: an areally continuous digital map database prepared from Knudsen and others (2000) and Witter and others (2006)
This digital map database provides an areally continuous representation of the Quaternary surficial deposits of the San Francisco Bay region merged from the database files from Knudsen and others (2000) and Witter and others (2006). The more detailed mapping by Witter and others (2006) of the inner part of the region (compiled at a scale of 1:24,000), is given precedence over the less detailed map
Gravity data of southern Washoe County and adjacent areas, Nevada and California
This data release provides principal fact information of gravity data collected and compiled in southern Washoe County, Nevada and adjacent areas in Nevada and California. These data were collected from 1983 to 2011. Data were collected as part of a larger effort by Washoe County, University of Nevada, Reno and the U.S. Geological Survey to investigate the crustal structure of the region as it rel
