NCALM Seed. PI: Zachery Lifton, Georgia Institute of Technology. The survey area consisted of a polygon located 15 km northeast of Bishop, California. The polygon is approximately 47 square kilometers. The survey took place on July 04, 2012. Data were collected to investigate new late Pleistocene slip rates on the White Mountain fault based on lidar data and geochronology.

This dataset, located within Joshua Tree National Park, CA, was collected as an NCALM Seed grant for Katherine Anna Guns, University of Arizona, Geosciences Department to support an investigation of possible slip rates on the Southern San Andreas Fault through the Eastern Transverse Ranges. The requested survey area is located approximately 31 km east of Palm Springs, CA. The polygon encloses approximately 64 km2. Note: A considerable percentage of the points in this dataset were classified as "building" (LAS class 6) although visual inspection indicates these points are mostly above-ground vegetation. For the purposes of distribution through OpenTopography, these points have been grouped with "unclassified" (LAS class 1) points to reduce point cloud classification to either "ground" or "unclassified" below.

NCALM Seed Project. PI: Joel Scheingross, Caltech. The survey area consists of a rectangular polygon located at the Canyon Lake Gorge, Canyon Lake, TX. The area of interest totals 8 square kilometers. The data were collected to study the mechanics of megaflood erosion at Canyon Lake Gorge.

PI: James Dolan, University of Southern California. The project area consists of two rectangular polygons covering an area of 38 square kilometers. Data were collected along the Furnace Creek and Fish Lake Valley Fault Zones in Death Valley National Park. The data were collected February 28, 2005. Bare-earth extraction was not performed on this dataset due to the scarceness of vegetation in the interest area.

NCALM Seed Project. PI: Clinton M. Wood, University of Arkansas. The survey area is a square polygon with a surface area of 40.771 km2. The polygon is located approximately 95 km southeast of Provo, UT and 33 km east of Ephrain, UT. The data were collected to study the topographic amplification of earthquake ground motions.

NCALM Seed. PI: Frank Sousa, Caltech. The survey area consisted of a polygon located 90 km East of Victorville, California in the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center. The polygon is approximately 48 km long by 1.5 km wide and encloses approximately 71 km. The survey took place on May 27, 2012.

This dataset was collected as an NCALM Seed grant for PI Katherine Lowe, University of Michigan, for the purpose of studying the effects of topography on peak ground acceleration. The requested survey area consisted of a polygon located 70 km northwest of Los Angeles, CA. The polygon encloses approximately 45.13 square km.

A surficial and structural geologic map (SIR-2012-5002, fig. 2) was compiled to aid in the building of the three-dimensional geologic model. The map covers 327 square miles in north-central Oregon and south-central Washington, and completely contains the study area defined by the Mosier-Rock-Rowena Creek Watershed extents. Surficial and structural geologic maps, cross-sections, and stratigraphic interpretations of well logs from previous reports were synthesized into this compilation map (Newcomb, 1969; Swanson and others, 1981; Bela, 1982; Lite and Grondin, 1988; Kienle, 1995; and Jervey, 1996). The focus of this effort was to refine the geologic map within the study area to aid in construction of a three-dimensional geologic model to be used as the foundation for groundwater flow simulation. Areas outside of the study area boundary were given less attention. The primary sources for surficial and structural geology were Lite and Grondin (1988) and Kienle (1995). Both extents together cover 78% of the geologic model area and represent the largest scales mapped. Individually each provides significant surficial and structural detail absent in other sources. Where they overlap both maps are mostly in agreement with only subtle differences. Both Lite and Grondin (1988) and Kienle (1995) together comprise all of the major structural components represented in the geologic model with the exception of the wrench fault associated with the Maupin trend. Secondary sources for surficial and structural geology include Newcomb (1969), Swanson and others (1981), Bela (1982), and Jervey (1996). Newcomb (1969) was used to delineate alluvium, landslide deposits, glaciofluvial deposits, and Chenowith Formation material outside of the Lite and Grondin (1988) and Kienle (1995) map boundaries in Oregon. In the western portion of the map in Oregon and all of Washington, Bela (1982) was relied upon for surficial geology. Bela (1982) also provided all of the structural content outside the area covered by Lite and Grondin (1988) and Keinle (1995), with additional detail provided by Swanson and others (1981) and Jervey (1996).

This is a short ~1 km long x 175 m wide strip along the 1872 Owens Valley earthquake surface rupture just north of Big Pine, CA. This model was produced without any ground control points, and all heights are GPS / ellipsoidal, so for absolute elevations the model should be shifted using a GCP & a geoid correction.

NCALM Seed. PI: Seul Gi Moon, Stanford University. The survey area consisted of two separate polygons shown with red outlines below in Figure 1. The North polygon is located approximately 35 km West of Garberville, California and the South polygon is located approximately 42 km South of Garberville, California. The total area for the 2 polygons is approximately 47 km2. The survey took place on July 05, 2012.
