Samuel Y. Johnson, USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center, Diablo Canyon SSHAC Workshop 1, 11/29 to 12/1/11, San Luis Obispo, CA
USGS offshore, low-energy seismic-reflection data
SYJ – 11/11
• Data Acquired – Data Limits – 3 Data Gaps • Why? Geologic mapping, habitat mapping Earthquake hazard assessment Tsunami hazard assessment Coastal and marine spatial planning • How? Integrated interpretation of:
Seismic-reflection profiles, high-resolution bathymetry, marine magnetics, camera and sampling data
• Supported by: USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program California Seafloor Mapping Program USGS/PG&E CRADA
SYJ – 11/11
Seismic-reflection surveys
USGS Seismic-reflection (~1500 km) and magnetic surveys (X2)
SYJ – 11/11
Source: SIG 500 joule mini-sparker, fired at ½ second interval Receiver: 15-m hydrophone streamer (single channel) Processing: AGC, bandpass filter, learning SIOSEIS Details and data presented in Sliter and others (2009), USGS OFR 2009-1100 http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2009/1100/index.html

Shelfbreak west of Hueneme Canyon, Offshore Oxnard, CA
SYJ – 11/11
Offshore Point Buchon
Offshore Cambria
SYJ – 11/11
Big data gap #2 – multibeam mapping of shelfbreak/upper slope, Follow-up high-res seismic-reflection mapping, as needed
SYJ – 11/11
Location, Length, Dip, Slip Rate, Earthquake History and Recurrence
Data need (Data Gap 3): earthquake history/recurrence Is there a Hosgri fault earthquake event stratigraphy preserved in intra-fault zone basins? In basins along scarps? In adjacent submarine canyons or submarine fans? Can we sample (core) it?
