Data from Theodolite Measurements of Creep Rates on San Francisco Bay Region Faults, California, 1979-2012

McFarland, Forrest S.; Lienkaemper, James J.; Caskey, S. John

Abstract:

Our purpose is to annually update our creep-data archive on San Francisco Bay region active faults for use by the scientific research community. Earlier data (1979–2001) were reported in Galehouse (2002) and were analyzed and described in detail in a summary report (Galehouse and Lienkaemper, 2003). A complete analysis of our earlier results obtained on the Hayward Fault was presented in Lienkaemper, Galehouse and Simpson (2001) and updated in Lienkaemper and others (2012). From 1979 until his retirement from the project in 2001, Jon Galehouse of San Francisco State University (SFSU) and many student research assistants measured creep (aseismic slip) rates on these faults. The creep measurement project, which was initiated by Galehouse, has continued through the Geosciences Department at SFSU from 2001–2006 under the direction of Karen Grove and John Caskey (Grove and Caskey, 2005) and by Caskey since 2006 (Caskey, 2007). Forrest McFarland has managed most of the technical and logistical project operations, as well as data processing and compilation since 2001. Data from 2001-2007 are found in McFarland and others (2007). Henceforth, we plan to continue releasing these data annually and publish detailed analyses of the data in future publications. We maintain a project Web site (http://funnel.sfsu.edu/creep/) that includes the following information: project description, project personnel, creep characteristics and measurement, map of creep-measurement sites, creep-measurement site information, and links to data plots for each measurement site. Our most current, annually updated results are, therefore, accessible to the scientific community and to the general public. Information about the project can currently be requested by the public from fltcreep@sfsu.edu.
