Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.5066/P924775B Description: Abstract: This dataset includes photographs of sediment cores collected from lacustrine and fjord basins in southcentral Alaska following the 2018 Anchorage earthquake. The cores were collected with a percussion driven gravity corer for use in regional hazard assessments relating to Alaska’s seismic hazard. Purpose: Identification of fault-related submarine hazards is a primary mission of the USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program. Intraslab earthquakes, which occur at depth within the subducting plate, can cause intense shaking at the Earth’s surface, but do not cause surficial faulting or result in significant land level changes. The seismic shaking associated with intraslab earthquakes can remobilize subaqueous sediment and lead to gravity driven sediment flows, potentially creating a record of past shaking from these events. To gain a better understanding of the conditions that produce seismically triggered deposits in subaqueous basins the USGS collected Chirp seismic and sediment cores from several lakes and fjords following the M7.1 2018 Anchorage earthquake. These data are intended to further our understand of geologic hazard in southcentral Alaska, improve risk assessments for local communities and critical infrastructure, and to provide data for future research on regional paleoseismic records in southcentral Alaska.

Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Quality control of attribute accuracy was conducted during field data collection and processing workflows. Logical_Consistency_Report: No formal logical consistency tests were conducted. It is possible that sediment color may change over time following core splitting as a consequence of exposure to air. Completeness_Report: Dataset will be updated to include additional core photographs collected during these field activities as those cores are processed through the sediment core lab at the Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: For all three field activities (2021-612-FA, 2020-625-FA, 2020-615-FA) sediment cores were collected via a percussion driven gravity corer from a variety of research vessels. The cores were transported back to the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center core lab where they were split and photographed using a Geotek multi-sensor core logger (MSCL) system. Cores over 1.5 m in length were split into multiple sections to permit scanning. Images from the scanner had ruler scales appended using the Geotek Add Ruler v 1.4 software.
