Summary
High-resolution multichannel seismic (MCS) and coincident Chirp sub-bottom data were acquired during USGS field activity 2021-614-FA aboard the R/V Sproul in May of 2021. The survey was conducted in the offshore region of southern California, specifically in the inner continental borderlands tectonic region. The focus of the survey was to collect seismic lines perpendicular to the Palos Verdes Fault with close adjacent line spacing of approximately 500 meters to explore the spatial properties and distribution of faulting in the shallow subsurface. These data and information are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public.

Multichannel minisparker seismic reflection data collected during USGS field activity 2021-614-FA along the Palos Verdes Fault Zone
High-resolution multichannel minisparker seismic reflection (MCS) data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in May of 2021 along the Palos Verdes Fault Zone in San Pedro Bay and San Pedro Channel. MCS data were acquired coincident with chirp sub-bottom data.
