Rock mass quality and structural geology observations in Prince William Sound, Alaska (2024) Rock mass quality and structural geology observations in Prince William Sound, Alaska (2024)
Multiple subaerial landslides adjacent to Prince William Sound, Alaska (for example, Dai and others, 2020; Higman and others, 2023; Schaefer and others, 2024) pose a threat to the public because of their potential to generate ocean waves (Barnhart and others, 2021, 2022; Dai and others, 2020) that could affect towns and marine activities. One bedrock landslide on the west side of Barry...

Shelly1 1 U.S. Geological Survey, Geological Hazards Science Center, Golden, CO 80401 This catalog contains 61,441 detections from 27 low-frequency earthquake (LFE) families located in an isolated zone offset to the west from the southern edge of the main band of Cascadia tremor. The included...
Supporting data for Late Pleistocene kinematics of the Great Southern Puerto Rico fault zone, Puerto Rico Supporting data for Late Pleistocene kinematics of the Great Southern Puerto Rico fault zone, Puerto Rico
This Data Release contains machine-readable files accompanying the study “Late Pleistocene kinematics of the Great Southern Puerto Rico fault zone, Puerto Rico” by Lynch et al. in Seismological Research Letters. The data release includes neotectonic mapping of fault-related features along the Great Southern Puerto Rico fault zone (GSPRFZ), and data documenting a focused site along the...
Detailed Mapping of the 1983 Borah Peak Earthquake Surface Rupture (Idaho, USA) Using a High-Resolution Digital Terrain Model Derived from 2019 Lidar Data Detailed Mapping of the 1983 Borah Peak Earthquake Surface Rupture (Idaho, USA) Using a High-Resolution Digital Terrain Model Derived from 2019 Lidar Data
In this work, we refined and expanded the coseismic surface rupture map of the 1983 M6.9 Borah Peak earthquake coseismic rupture mapping at a scale of 1:500. While earlier work (DuRoss et al., 2019; Bello et al., 2020, 2021) used structure-from-motion (SfM) methods to construct digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from small uncrewed aerial systems (sUAS or drone) imagery, the...
Woolsey Fire Infiltration Measurements 19-21 November 2018 Santa Monica Mountains, CA Woolsey Fire Infiltration Measurements 19-21 November 2018 Santa Monica Mountains, CA
This data release includes minidisk infiltration data as well as geographic data showing the location of each measurement from the Woolsey Fire, Los Angeles County, CA, USA. The Woolsey Fire burned between November 8-21, 2018. Minidisk infiltration data were obtained on November 19-21, 2018, while portions of the fire were uncontained, and prior to any rainfall. The infiltration data are...
USGS Aerial Photos of Landslides following Hurricane Helene (3-5 October 2024) USGS Aerial Photos of Landslides following Hurricane Helene (3-5 October 2024)
This data release includes aerial photos taken from a small aircraft for reconnaissance purposes (Figure 1). The photos were taken from several different types of cameras ranging from iPhones to Cannon EOS6. Camera attributes can be found in the exif data associated with each file. Photos were taken over a period of 3 days (3-5 October, 2024) to obtain general situational awareness of...
Terrestrial lidar data of debris-flow sediment in Glenwood Canyon, CO, 2021 Terrestrial lidar data of debris-flow sediment in Glenwood Canyon, CO, 2021
This release includes lidar point cloud and Wolman pebble count data for a debris-flow deposit in Glenwood Canyon, CO. The data, FullDepositRegion.las (las 1.2), were collected with a terrestrial laser scanner and includes the full deposit and portions of the slope and drainage that generated the debris flow. This .las file includes point cloud data up to 250 m upslope of the deposit...
Clay Banks Landslide Complex, Nooksack River, Washington State–landslide and river planform maps derived from aerial imagery (1933-2022) Clay Banks Landslide Complex, Nooksack River, Washington State–landslide and river planform maps derived from aerial imagery (1933-2022)
This dataset contains 17 fluvial and hillslope planforms for a 2.25 km section of the Nooksack River and adjacent Clay Banks landslide complex in northwestern Washington State spanning 1933-2022. Data include polygon and line features of river and hillslope planform structures for each year including landslides, the active river channel, the floodplain corridor, and vegetated floodplain...
Datasets documenting Surface Rupture from an Aftershock: Remote Observations from the January 2024 Wushi (Aykol) Earthquakes, China Datasets documenting Surface Rupture from an Aftershock: Remote Observations from the January 2024 Wushi (Aykol) Earthquakes, China
This data release provides shapefiles of surface rupture mapping, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data, finite fault modeling inputs, parameters, and outputs, and optical image cross-correlation displacement data derived from high-resolution satellite imagery to accompany the manuscript “Thompson Jobe and others, Surface Rupture From an Aftershock: Remote Observations...
Inventory of fluvial erosion and debris-flow activity following the 2020 Dolan Fire, California Inventory of fluvial erosion and debris-flow activity following the 2020 Dolan Fire, California
This data release is a geospatial record of flooding and debris-flow activity following the 2020 Dolan Fire along the central California coast. The postfire hydrologic responses documented here (“Inventory.csv”) are associated with a January 27, 2021, atmospheric river storm that hosted a narrow cold-frontal rain band, which produced intense rainfall over the burned area. Each entry in...
Landslide, soil, and vegetation measurements following an atmospheric river storm on January 9, 2023, in the Santa Ynez Mountains, California, USA Landslide, soil, and vegetation measurements following an atmospheric river storm on January 9, 2023, in the Santa Ynez Mountains, California, USA
An atmospheric river storm on January 9, 2023, produced widespread landsliding in the Santa Ynez Mountains in Santa Barbara County and Ventura County, California (USA). Landslides occurred in the footprint of the 2008 Tea Fire, 2009 Jesusita Fire, 2017 Thomas Fire, and 2019 Cave Fire, as well as in areas that had not burned in more than 15 years. Most of these landslides were shallow...
World-Wide Standardized Seismographic Network Film Chip Scans World-Wide Standardized Seismographic Network Film Chip Scans
