High resolution earthquake relocations and focal mechanisms with preferred fault planes for the 2020 Maacama sequence

November 16, 2022

This page contains results from analysis of 2020 Maacama earthquake sequence, including the detected and relocated earthquake catalog along with associated focal mechanisms and preferred fault planes as derived in:

Shelly, D. R., R. J. Skoumal, and J. L. Hardebeck, Fracture-mesh faulting in the swarm-like 2020 Maacama sequence revealed by high-precision earthquake detection, location, and focal mechanisms, Geophysical Research Letters, in review.  
 
File DS1. CSV file containing relocated hypocentroids (3520 events)
Format:
yyyy MM dd HH mm ss.sss lat(deg) lon(deg) dep(km) x(m) y(m) z(m) mag event_ID
yyyy MM dd HH mm ss.sss:  origin time year, month, day, hour, min, second)
lat(deg) lon(deg) dep(km):  relocated hypocentroid latitude and longitude (in degrees) and depth (km below mean surface of 0.6 km asl)
x(m)  y(m)  z(m): relocated hypocentroid x,y,z coordinates in meters
mag: event magnitude (NCSN routine magnitude for catalog events, magnitude determined for consistency with NCSN Md for newly detected events   
event_ID: time-based event ID used in this study
File DS2. CSV file containing initially clustered events with preferred fault planes from focal mechanisms (1629 events)
Format:
yyyy MM dd HH mm ss.sss lat(deg) lon(deg) dep(km) mag strike dip rake cl# event_ID
Abbreviations same as for Data Set S1, except:
strike, dip, rake: strike, dip, and rake (in degrees) of preferred fault plane
cl: mechanism cluster number
File DS3. CSV file containing all preferred fault planes from focal mechanisms (3253 events).  Format identical to Data Set S2.
