Gravity data of southern Washoe County and adjacent areas, Nevada and California Gravity data of southern Washoe County and adjacent areas, Nevada and California
This data release provides principal fact information of gravity data collected and compiled in southern Washoe County, Nevada and adjacent areas in Nevada and California. These data were collected from 1983 to 2011. Data were collected as part of a larger effort by Washoe County, University of Nevada, Reno and the U.S. Geological Survey to investigate the crustal structure of the region...
Extent of Pliocene hyaloclastic deposits and related lava flows in the Columbia Gorge, Oregon and Washington Extent of Pliocene hyaloclastic deposits and related lava flows in the Columbia Gorge, Oregon and Washington
This dataset contains polygons representing deposits of hyaloclastic debris that were generated between about 3.5 and 3.0 million years ago when a series of basaltic lava flows entered the canyon of the ancestral Columbia River. The lava flows were erupted from volcanoes in the area of the Hood River graben of McClaughry and others (2012), generally have low-potassium tholeiitic basalt...
Digital Database of Microfossil samples from Southwestern Coastal Oregon Digital Database of Microfossil samples from Southwestern Coastal Oregon
A geodatabase containing shapefiles representing the geologic units present within the study area, as well as the locations where sampling ocurred, field photography conducted by John Armentrout ocurred, and satellite imagery providing overhead views of key points of John Armentrout's study.
Tephra geochemistry of the Ibex Hollow Tuff, a 12-Ma super-eruption Tephra geochemistry of the Ibex Hollow Tuff, a 12-Ma super-eruption
These tables contain geochemical data collected for tephra samples either correlated with or in the same type section with the Ibex Hollow Tuff. Most samples were collected by Andrei Sarna-Wojcicki and Mike Perkins, but some were submitted to the U.S. Geological Survey Tephrochronology Project for analysis by other persons. Electron microprobe analysis (EMA) was performed at the U.S...
Digital database for the geologic map of the Vidal, California, and Parker SW, California-Arizona quadrangles Digital database for the geologic map of the Vidal, California, and Parker SW, California-Arizona quadrangles
This geologic database is a digitized version of the original 1:24,000-scale analog geologic map titled "Geologic map of the Vidal, California, and Parker SW, California-Arizona quadrangles", published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1980. The map area straddles the Arizona-California border, and is located approximately 9.0 km (5.6 mi) west-southwest of Parker, CA, immediately...
Spatial data files associated with the identification of new data for the sagebrush focal area mineral resource assessment in Nevada Spatial data files associated with the identification of new data for the sagebrush focal area mineral resource assessment in Nevada
In summer 2021, the Bureau of Land Management - Nevada (BLM NV) requested that the U.S. Geological Survey Mineral Resources Program (USGS MRP), acting through the Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center (GMEGSC) and other collaborating USGS Science Centers, conduct a scoping study to: 1) discover mineral resource data and relevant publications that have been released...
Aeromagnetic and derivative gridded data, and magnetization boundaries of northeastern California Aeromagnetic and derivative gridded data, and magnetization boundaries of northeastern California
This data release contains gridded aeromagnetic data from a dataset that merges two aeromagnetic surveys of northeastern California. Data from the Alturas and Burney surveys were gridded and merged to provide a continuous, detailed aeromagnetic dataset of the region. The merged dataset was then corrected for the inclination of the Earth's magnetic field (reduced to pole or rtp); match...
Digitized sonic velocity and density log data of Central Coast Ranges, California Digitized sonic velocity and density log data of Central Coast Ranges, California
Sonic velocity and density well logs in the Central Coast Ranges in California were digitized by hand. These logs are available as scanned files (pdfs and tiffs) on the California Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources website and the data consist of interval transit times and bulk density measured downhole in oil and gas wells in the region. Sonic velocity data were also...
New U-Pb Geochronology and Geochemistry of Paleozoic Metaigneous Rocks from Western Yukon and Eastern Alaska New U-Pb Geochronology and Geochemistry of Paleozoic Metaigneous Rocks from Western Yukon and Eastern Alaska
This data release contains three tables of U-Pb zircon isotopic data generated from analyses of 40 metaplutonic and metavolcanic rocks from the Yukon-Tanana Upland of western Yukon and east-central Alaska and one sample from southern Yukon. One of the tables also reports U-Pb data for two titanite analyses for one of the samples. U-Pb zircon ages from analyzed samples range from 363.5...
Digital database for the geologic map of the Parker NW, Parker, and parts of the Whipple Mountains SW and Whipple Wash quadrangles, California and Arizona Digital database for the geologic map of the Parker NW, Parker, and parts of the Whipple Mountains SW and Whipple Wash quadrangles, California and Arizona
This geologic database is a digitized version of the 1:24,000-scale original analog geologic map titled "Geologic map of the Parker NW, Parker, and parts of the Whipple Mountains SW and Whipple Wash quadrangles, California and Arizona", published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1980. The map area straddles the Arizona-California border and includes the community of Parker, AZ...
Marine magnetic data from twelve cruises of Pioneer and Rehoboth in 1955 and 1956 off British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California Marine magnetic data from twelve cruises of Pioneer and Rehoboth in 1955 and 1956 off British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California
This shapefile contains total‐field marine magnetic data from eleven cruises of the USCGS ship Pioneer (OSS‐31) and one cruise from the USS Rehoboth (AGS‐50) in deep water off the west coast of the United States and southern British Columbia in 1955 and 1956. Magnetic anomalies are calculated with the latest definitive geomagnetic reference field (DGRF) included in the 12th Generation of...
Digital terrain model of upper North Fork Toutle River valley, Washington, derived from historical topographic maps Digital terrain model of upper North Fork Toutle River valley, Washington, derived from historical topographic maps
This digital terrain model represents historical elevations along the valley of the North Fork Toutle River upstream of its confluence with the Green River in Cowlitz and Skamania Counties, Washington. Most elevations were derived from U.S. Geological Survey 1:62,500 scale topographic quadrangle maps published from 1953 to 1958 that were derived from aerial photographs taken in 1951 and...
