Seismic reflection data imaging the Meadow Bank scarp in the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone, southeastern Illinois, U.S. Geological Survey data release Seismic reflection data imaging the Meadow Bank scarp in the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone, southeastern Illinois, U.S. Geological Survey data release
The U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with seismologists from University of Kentucky, performed a 917-meter east-west oriented shear horizontal (SH)-wave seismic-reflection survey in the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone in southeastern Illinois. The resulting profile, named ML-2, images the near-surface geology underlying the Meadow Bank scarp, a roughly 10-km long northeast-oriented...
Shear-wave velocity surface seismic site characterization data at 21 sites in Puerto Rico Shear-wave velocity surface seismic site characterization data at 21 sites in Puerto Rico
In collaboration with researchers at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, the U.S. Geological Survey acquired multimethod surface seismic imaging data at 21 sites in Puerto Rico for shear-wave velocity site characterization. These data were collected at both permanent and temporary seismograph stations throughout the island, between March 6 and March 18, 2022. Data were acquired...
Microtremor array data on Whidbey Island, Washington Microtremor array data on Whidbey Island, Washington
The U.S. Geological Survey collected a grid of microtremor data points using Smartsolo 3-component seismic sensors from August 7th to August 11th, 2023. These sensors have a five Hz resonance frequency. The grid was deployed over a section of the Utsalady Point fault that runs east-west across the southern portion of the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington State. For four days...
Sediment core data from Henrys Lake, Idaho Sediment core data from Henrys Lake, Idaho
This data release includes measurements of properties from sedimentary cores collected from Henrys Lake in Idaho. We present a CSV with basic information about the cores (e.g., length, collection location, water depth), and three CSVs with the fallout radionuclide (FRN), particle size analysis (PSA), and radiocarbon (RC) data. It also has three child items with x-ray computed tomography...
Seismic Reflection Profiles Imaging the Seattle Fault Zone Beneath West Seattle, Central Seattle, and Mercer Island, Washington State Seismic Reflection Profiles Imaging the Seattle Fault Zone Beneath West Seattle, Central Seattle, and Mercer Island, Washington State
The U.S. Geological Survey, with funding from the National Earthquakes Hazard Reduction Program, collected ~24 km of north-south trending land-based P-wave seismic reflection profiles gathered across three urban areas in Seattle, Washington: West Seattle, central Seattle, and Mercer Island. The West Seattle profiles were collected with an accelerated weight drop source and 8 Hz vertical...
Miscellaneous Microtremor Array Datasets from the Puget Lowland, Washington State Miscellaneous Microtremor Array Datasets from the Puget Lowland, Washington State
Abstract: We compile three microtremor array datasets acquired in three campaigns in the Seattle and Tacoma basins, Washington State. These datasets were acquired between 2007 and 2018. Dataset 1 includes seven sites in the western Seattle and Tacoma basins acquired to image shear-wave velocity (Vs) in the upper 1 km that are suitable for analysis with microtremor methods not requiring...
Neotectonic origins for the Meadow Bank scarp, Wabash Valley seismic zone USA Neotectonic origins for the Meadow Bank scarp, Wabash Valley seismic zone USA
The Meadow Bank scarp (MBS) in southeastern Illinois is a linear geomorphic expression, ∼10 km long and ∼8 m high above a relatively flat landscape. It parallels an underlying northeast‐oriented Late‐Precambrian–Early‐Cambrian structural fabric, called the Wabash Valley fault zone, and is within an area of modern, historic, and paleo seismicity, called the Wabash Valley seismic zone. In...

Shallow lake, strong shake: Record of seismically triggered lacustrine sedimentation from the 1959 M7.3 Hebgen Lake earthquake within Henrys Lake, Idaho Shallow lake, strong shake: Record of seismically triggered lacustrine sedimentation from the 1959 M7.3 Hebgen Lake earthquake within Henrys Lake, Idaho
We investigate a shallow lake basin for evidence of a large historic intraplate earthquake in western North America. Henrys Lake, Idaho is an atypical candidate for a lacustrine paleoseismic study given its shallow depth (~7 m) and low relief (≤2° slopes). Here, we test the earthquake-recording capacity of this basin type by showing sedimentological evidence of the 1959 M7.3 Hebgen Lake...
