Description:
Abstract:
Multichannel seismic (MCS) data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in June of 1999 in the coastal zone and continental shelf between Los Angeles and San Diego, offshore California (USGS field activity O199SC). In 2021 these data were reprocessed to improve accuracy and resolvability of geologic structures and fault systems of California’s continental margin.
Purpose:
MCS data were acquired to support the Southern California Earthquake Hazards project to help mitigate earthquake and tsunami hazards for the Southern California region by improving our understanding of how deformation is distributed (spatially and temporally) in the offshore with respect to the onshore region. The reprocessed dataset enhances the seismic data quality which will be useful for future research on the geomorphic, sedimentary and tectonic record offshore California. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public.
