Tsunami Source Standardization for Hazards Mitigation in the United States
The goal of this Powell Center Working Group is to produce a collection of vetted and standardized earthquake and landslide tsunami sources that can be used to produce the meaningful hazard assessment products required for effective tsunami hazard mitigation and risk reduction. The need for a set of realistic and consistent tsunami sources was identified as a high priority at a 2016...
Minisparker and chirp seismic reflection data acquired offshore San Francisco and Pacifica during USGS field activity S-16-10-NC Minisparker and chirp seismic reflection data acquired offshore San Francisco and Pacifica during USGS field activity S-16-10-NC
Chirp sub-bottom and single-channel minisparker seismic reflection data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in August 2010, offshore San Mateo County, California. Data were collected aboard the R/V Snavely during field activity S-16-10-NC. This work was funded by the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program's Coastal and Marine Catastrophic Hazards project. The high-resolution...
Simulation and visualization of coastal tsunami impacts from the SAFRR tsunami source Simulation and visualization of coastal tsunami impacts from the SAFRR tsunami source
To further extend the scope of the Science Application for Risk Reduction (SAFRR) project, detailed hydrodynamic simulations were run at three harbor locations in California. For the locations of 1) Oakland/Alameda, 2) Half Moon Bay, and 3) Santa Cruz, simulations at approximately 5-m resolution were performed using the high-order Boussinesq-type model COULWAVE. The Oakland/Richmond...
Chirp and minisparker seismic-reflection data of field activity F-02-07-NC collected offshore Ano Nuevo to San Francisco, San Mateo County California from 2007-03-22 to 2007-04-06 Chirp and minisparker seismic-reflection data of field activity F-02-07-NC collected offshore Ano Nuevo to San Francisco, San Mateo County California from 2007-03-22 to 2007-04-06
High-resolution single-channel Chirp and minisparker seismic-reflection data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in March and April 2007, offshore San Mateo County, California. Data were collected aboard the R/V Fulmar during field activity F-02-07-NC. Chirp data were collected using an EdgeTech 512 chirp subbottom system and were recorded with a Triton SB-Logger. Minisparker...

California State Waters Map Series — Offshore of San Gregorio, California California State Waters Map Series — Offshore of San Gregorio, California
In 2007, the California Ocean Protection Council initiated the California Seafloor Mapping Program (CSMP), designed to create a comprehensive seafloor map of high-resolution bathymetry, marine benthic habitats, and geology within the 3-nautical-mile limit of California's State Waters. The CSMP approach is to create highly detailed seafloor maps through collection, integration...
Sidescan Sonar Imagery of the Escanaba Trough, Southern Gorda Ridge, Offshore Northern California Sidescan Sonar Imagery of the Escanaba Trough, Southern Gorda Ridge, Offshore Northern California
This map features sidescan imagery of the northern Escanaba (NESCA) site at the Escanaba Trough, southern Gorda Ridge, offshore northern California. The Escanaba Trough, a largely sediment-covered seafloor spreading center, contains at least six large massive sulfide deposits. It is a slow spreading center (2.5 cm/yr) with axial depths locally exceeding 3,300 m. Discrete igneous centers...

SAFRR tsunami scenario: Impacts on California ecosystems, species, marine natural resources, and fisheries SAFRR tsunami scenario: Impacts on California ecosystems, species, marine natural resources, and fisheries
We evaluate the effects of the SAFRR Tsunami Scenario on California’s ecosystems, species, natural resources, and fisheries. We discuss mitigation and preparedness approaches that can be useful in Tsunami planning. The chapter provides an introduction to the role of ecosystems and natural resources in tsunami events (Section 1). A separate section focuses on specific impacts of the SAFRR...
