Regional map of southern California from Dana Point to La Jolla Cove.

Detailed Description

Regional map of southern California showing the study region from Dana Point to La Jolla Cove. (Inset of California showing map location.) Bathymetry is modified from Dartnell et al. (2015). Large box shows the main study area offshore San Onofre and the small box shows the location of CHIRP lines from La Jolla shown in Fig. 10. (B) Location map for 2008, 2009, and 2013 SIO CHIRP surveys along with USGS mini sparker survey (Sliter et al., 2010). CHIRP tracklines are shown in solid black lines and USGS sparker tracklines are shown in black dashed lines. Seismic lines shown in this paper are bold with labeled figure number. SMC = San Mateo Creek and SOC = San Onofre Creek. (C) Cliff geology and fault map for survey area. Faults are shown in black. Offshore faults are from the USGS fault database and the Cristianitos Fault is based on this study (offshore) and Ehlig (1977; onshore). Geologic formations exposed in the sea cliffs at beach level are shown (Ehlig, 1977, Sorenson et al., 2009, Rentz, 2010). NI/RC = Newport Inglewood/Rose Canyon Fault; CF = Cristianitos Fault.

From the study Continental shelf morphology and stratigraphy offshore San Onofre, California: The interplay between rates of eustatic change and sediment supply.
