The data comprise an archive of repeated surveyed measurements to monitor surface fault creep (a form of gradual tectonic movement) occurring along active faults in the San Francisco Bay region for use by the scientific research community. Additional description of these data and the methods used to collect them is provided at: https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2009/1119/. The primary data are angle measurements surveyed using an electronic theodolite on about ninety alignment arrays that cross the region's major faults, which enables detection of any significant rate changes over time from long-term rates of aseismic fault displacement. These primary measurement data, and resulting long-term average creep rates of each...

This data release includes field observations and laboratory data for two trenches excavated across the Lost River fault zone, Idaho, in September 2019. The field sites include the Sheep Creek site (44.282541 degrees N, 113.941193 degrees W) on the southernmost Warm Springs section and the Arentson Gulch site (44.247816 degrees N, 113.918554 degrees W) on the northernmost Thousand Springs section. Field observations include descriptions of stratigraphic units exposed in the trenches; laboratory data include 41 radiocarbon ages and 4 infrared stimulated luminescence ages.
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
