These data were collected aboard the M/V Bold Horizon in October 2019 for use in regional hazard assessments relating to the Hosgri Fault. Purpose: Identification of fault-related submarine hazards is a primary mission of the USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program. The Hosgri Fault is a submarine fault system that likely poses the greatest submarine earthquake threat in the central California region. To gain a better understanding of this fault system, the USGS collected sparker multichannel seismic, CHIRP seismic, and sediment cores to enable a detailed investigation of its geologic history and ongoing activity. These data are intended to further our understanding of geologic hazards near the Hosgri Fault, improve risk assessments for local communities and critical infrastructure, and to provide data for future research on regional tectonic, sedimentary, and geomorphic evolution of coastal California. This work was funded through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between the USGS and Pacific Gas and Electric Corporation.

Browse_Graphic_File_Type: JPG Data_Set_Credit: USGS PCMSC Marine Facility personnel Rachel Marcuson assisted with multichannel seismic data acquisition. Native_Data_Set_Environment: Field seismic data were collected with Geometrics CNT-1 seismic acquisition software (v. 5.64) and processed using Shearwater Reveal (v. 5.1) on a CentOS Linux 7 operating system. Seismic navigation was processed using ArcGIS Pro (v. 2.9.1) on a Windows 10 operating system. 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: All SEG-Y and navigation data were derived from the same instruments and processing workflows. Paired navigation and SEG-Y files have corresponding filenames and/or corresponding names indicated in shapefile attribute fields. Completeness_Report: Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: A Hemisphere V110 GPS system was used for obtaining navigation data during the cruise with a stated accuracy of 0.6 meters (95 percent confidence). Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Two-way travel time in milliseconds referenced to sea level is provided in the SEG-Y files. Referencing two-way travel time to sea level is accomplished via an RBR Solo-D depth logger mounted beneath the hydrophone array with a stated accuracy of approximately 1 cm. If this depth information is recorded, it is populated in the receiver group elevation header in the SEG-Y files (bytes 41-44). Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Field seismic data collection: Seismic data were collected onboard the M/V Bold Horizon using a SIG ELP790 sparker source powered at 700 joules and recorded by a Geometrics GeoEel hydrophone streamer with 24-40 channels depending on conditions. Field data were collected in a SEG-D format. Navigation data were collected simultaneously with a Hemisphere V110 GPS with shot coordinates saved into the SEG-D external headers. Process_Date: 20191024 Process_Step: Process_Description: The following processing flow was carried out in Shearwater Reveal (v. 5.1) to process field data through a post-stack time migration and output to SEG-Y files: (1) Field-collected SEG-D files were imported to Shearwater Reveal and navigation was converted to WGS 1984 coordinate system; (2) Common midpoint (CMP) coordinates were defined using survey geometry setup; (3) Traces were corrected for normal moveout using semblance plots and interactive velocity picking; (4) Source signatures were removed from stacked traces using a spiking deconvolution to increase vertical resolution; (5) A stoltz-time migration was applied to each seismic line; (6) Shearwater reveal internal seismic files were output to processed SEG-Y format files and ArcGIS compatible shapefiles.
