Field Activity A102SC

Identifier A102SC
Alternate names A-1-02-SC,A1-02-SC
Purpose 2 part: sidescan survey for Marine Minerals Service near Pts. Arguello and Conception. Geophysical survey to expand mapping of offshore faults in Santa Barbara Channel from Gaviota to Pt. Dume.
Description United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California. Chief Scientists: Mike Fisher, Chris Gutmacher. Geophysical data (12khz, YoNav, GPS, Kleinsidescan, airgun, minisparker, Chirp, boomer, sparker) of field activity A-1-02-SC in Pt. Arguello to Pt. Dume from 06/14/2002 to 06/29/2002
Location Pt. Arguello to Pt. Dume
Summary Sidescan survey completed. Geophysical survey hampered by high winds and equipment problems; nonetheless some excellent data were acquired.
Info derived Sidescan mosaic and interpreted locations of natural gas seeps. Fault map and target locations for future cores to determine age of fault movement.

Geology and geomorphology--Offshore of Carpinteria, California minisparker This part of DS 781 presents data for the geologic and geomorphic map of the Offshore of Carpinteria map area, California. The vector data file is included in "Geology_OffshoreCarpinteria.zip," which is accessible from https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/OffshoreCarpinteria/data_catalog_OffshoreCarpinteria.html. These data accompany the pamphlet and map sheets of Johnson, S.Y., Dartnell, P., Cochrane, G.R., Golden, N.E., Phillips, E.L., Ritchie, A.C., Kvitek, R.G., Greene, H.G., Endris, C.A., Seitz, G.G., Sliter, R.W., Erdey, M.D., Wong, F.L., Gutierrez, C.I., Krigsman, L.M., Draut, A.E., and Hart, P.E. (S.Y. Johnson and S.A. Cochran, eds.), 2013, California State Waters Map Series-Offshore of Carpinteria, California: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 3261, 42 p., 10 sheets, scale 1:24,000, https://doi.org/10.3133/sim3261. Marine geology and geomorphology were mapped in the Offshore of Carpinteria map area, California, from approximate Mean High Water (MHW) to the 3-nautical-mile limit of California's State Waters. Offshore geologic units were delineated on the basis of integrated analyses of adjacent onshore geology with multibeam bathymetry and backscatter imagery, seafloor-sediment and rock samples, digital camera and video imagery, and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles.

Faults--Offshore of Carpinteria, California minisparker This part of DS 781 presents data for fault data for the Offshore of Carpinteria map area, California. The vector data file is included in "Faults_OffshoreCarpinteria.zip," which is accessible from https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/OffshoreCarpinteria/data_catalog_OffshoreCarpinteria.html. These data accompany the pamphlet and map sheets of Johnson, S.Y., Dartnell, P., Cochrane, G.R., Golden, N.E., Phillips, E.L., Ritchie, A.C., Kvitek, R.G., Greene, H.G., Endris, C.A., Seitz, G.G., Sliter, R.W., Erdey, M.D., Wong, F.L., Gutierrez, C.I., Krigsman, L.M., Draut, A.E., and Hart, P.E.

Faults in the Carpinteria map area are identified on seismic-reflection data based on abrupt truncation or warping of reflections and (or) juxtaposition of reflection panels with different seismic parameters such as reflection presence, amplitude, frequency, geometry, continuity, and vertical sequence. Faults were primarily mapped by interpretation of seismic reflection profile data (see field activities A-1-02-SC and Z-3-07-SC). The seismic reflection profiles were collected in 2002 and 2007.

Folds--Offshore of Carpinteria, California minisparker This part of DS 781 presents fold data for the Offshore of Carpinteria map area, California.
