Bathymetry and acoustic-backscatter data for Lake Sammamish, Washington collected during USGS field activity 2021-656-FA Bathymetry and acoustic-backscatter data for Lake Sammamish, Washington collected during USGS field activity 2021-656-FA
The Pacific Northwest is home to numerous faults that cut through the surrounding crust including the Seattle fault. Over time, frictional stresses accumulate along these faults, building slowly until they exceed the fault's strength, resulting in an earthquake. Evidence of these earthquakes may be found in Pacific Northwest lakes. Past underwater landslides caused by the earthquakes...
Chirp sub-bottom data collected in the Great Salt Lake, Utah during USGS field activity 2021-615-FA Chirp sub-bottom data collected in the Great Salt Lake, Utah during USGS field activity 2021-615-FA
This data release contains 57 high-resolution chirp sub-bottom profiles collected in the southern Great Salt Lake, Utah, by the U.S. Geological Survey in June 2021 during field activity 2021-615-FA. The dataset was acquired to image subsurface sedimentary structures and stratigraphy in support of efforts to characterize past earthquake events along the Great Salt Lake Fault, contributing...
Bathymetry and Acoustic Backscatter data for Jenkinson Lake, California collected during three USGS field activities, 2022-604-FA, 2022-649-FA, and 2023-634-FA Bathymetry and Acoustic Backscatter data for Jenkinson Lake, California collected during three USGS field activities, 2022-604-FA, 2022-649-FA, and 2023-634-FA
Bathymetry and acoustic-backscatter data were collected during three separate SWATHPlus surveys of Jenkinson Lake, California to determine any impacts on the lake floor following the 2021 Caldor fire. Data were collected and processed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) with fieldwork activity numbers 2022-604-FA (January 2022), 2022...
Seismic sub-bottom, sediment core and radiocarbon data collected in Ozette Lake, Washington from 2019-2021 Seismic sub-bottom, sediment core and radiocarbon data collected in Ozette Lake, Washington from 2019-2021
Seismic-reflection data and cores were collected in Ozette Lake, Washington, from 2019 to 2021. These data were used to investigate submarine landslide deposits triggered by large Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquakes. Identification of fault-related submarine hazards is a primary mission of the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program. In the US Pacific Northwest region, the greatest...

2-m resolution bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data were collected during a July 2019 SWATHPlus survey of Ozette Lake, Washington. Data were collected and processed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) with fieldwork activity number 2019-622-FA. The 2-m data are provided as GeoTIFF images.
Multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data collected in the eastern Gulf of Alaska during USGS Field Activity 2016-625-FA using a Reson 7160 multibeam echosounder Multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data collected in the eastern Gulf of Alaska during USGS Field Activity 2016-625-FA using a Reson 7160 multibeam echosounder
Marine geophysical mapping of the Queen Charlotte Fault in the eastern Gulf of Alaska was conducted in 2016 as part of a collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to understand the morphology and subsurface geology of the entire Queen Charlotte system. The Queen Charlotte fault is the offshore portion of the Queen Charlotte...
Chirp sub-bottom data collected in 2019 in Whiskeytown Lake, California during USGS field activity 2018-686-FA Chirp sub-bottom data collected in 2019 in Whiskeytown Lake, California during USGS field activity 2018-686-FA
High-resolution chirp sub-bottom data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center in May of 2019 in Whiskeytown Lake, California using an Edgetech SB-512i sub-bottom profiler. These data were collected to measure possible debris flows into the lake during the 2018-2019 rainy season following the July-August 2018 Carr fire that burned vegetation...
Colored shaded-relief bathymetry and acoustic backscatter of Lake Sammamish, Washington Colored shaded-relief bathymetry and acoustic backscatter of Lake Sammamish, Washington
Evidence of strong earthquakes (such as underwater landslides and associated deposits) may be recorded within the lacustrine sediments of Pacific Northwest lakes. The floor of Lake Sammamish, Wash., an approximately 11 kilometer (6.8 mile) long, 2 kilometer (1.2 mile) wide, and 35 meter (114.8 feet) deep lake located in a populated region just east of Seattle, was mapped by the U.S...

Offshore of the Pacific Northwest of the United States is the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 1,000-kilometer-long tectonic boundary defined by a large fault, called a megathrust, that extends from the Mendocino Junction off northern California to the Nootka Fracture Zone off Vancouver Island, Canada (U.S. Geological Survey, 2023). The Juan de Fuca and Gorda oceanic plates to the west of...

In 2021, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) acquired bathymetric and acoustic-backscatter data within Lake Sammamish, Washington. Mapping was completed to find evidence of past earthquakes such as underwater landslides and is part of a larger USGS project to understand the overall geologic hazards history of the Cascadia Margin region. The survey was conducted using the...
