Data were collected aboard the R/V Fulmar, during field activity F-02-07-NC. Minisparker data were collected using a SIG 2-mille minisparker sound source combined with a single-channel streamer, and recorded with a Triton SB-Logger. Purpose: This work was funded by the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program’s Marine Geohazards project. The high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles provide fault geometry information of the San Gregorio, San Andreas, and Golden Gate faults to be used to update the USGS Quaternary fault database and to use in shaking-hazard models developed by the Working Group for California Earthquake probabilities. Other objectives of the mission were to determine thickness of Holocene sediments and to verify surficial mapping. These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and general public.

Quality control was conducted during the collection process. 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: Position data were provided by a Hemisphere V100 Global Positioning System using L1, C/A code and carrier phase smoothing with a stated accuracy of 60 centimeters. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Depths shown in the seismic data files are in milliseconds (round trip travel time) and are referenced to sea level. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Minisparker data were collected using a SIG 2mille minisparker system that creates an acoustic signal by discharging a 500-Joule, high voltage pulse between electrodes and a ground that generates a high-frequency source signal. The minisparker system uses a 500-Joule, high-voltage electrical discharge that was fired at an interval of 0.25 seconds. The source signal frequency bandwidth ranges from 200-1600 Hz. The 0.25-second firing rate and normal survey speeds of 4-4.5 nautical miles per hour yield a data trace about every 0.5 meters. The data were recorded on a 15-m-long single-channel hydrophone streamer in standard SEG-Y 32-bit floating-point format, using Triton Subbottom Logger (SBL) software that merges seismic-reflection data with global positioning system (GPS) navigation data. Data were acquired using a single channel digital hydrophone streamer and recorded in SEG-Y 32-bit floating point using a Triton SB-Logger. Lines designated with a “T” are data collected in turns between the main lines. GPS position information was inserted into the SEG-Y trace headers in header bytes 73 and 77, with a scalar of -1000 (noted in header byte 71). Process_Date: 20070406 Process_Step: Process_Description: A 160- to 1200-Hz bandpass filter was applied. UTM 10N x and y position data were inserted into SEG-Y header bytes 81 and 85. Additionally, ship-heave statics were calculated using SIOSEIS seismic processing. The statics were created with a seafloor auto-tracker to detect the seafloor two-way travel time for each shot. This tracker defaults to the time value of the previous shot on low amplitude traces. Corrections were applied to the data to filter out the effect of the sea swell. A seafloor mute was applied before the final processed lines were output in SEG-Y format.
