Depth to basement and thickness of unconsolidated sediments for the western United States—Initial estimates for layers of the U.S. Geological Survey National Crustal Model
September 28, 2018
We present numeric grids containing estimates of the thickness of unconsolidated sediments and depth to the pre-Cenozoic
basement for the western United States. Values for these grids were combined and integrated from previous studies or derived
directly from gravity analyses. The grids are provided with 1-kilometer grid-node spacing in ScienceBase (https://www.sciencebase.gov).
These layers may be updated as results from new studies become available.
