|
|
The 1997 Bay Area Seismic Imaging Experiment (BASIX-III) was the latest
|
|
in a series of USGS deep-crustal seismic reflection studies of the fault
|
|
geometry and crustal structure of the San Francisco Bay Area. The specific
|
|
goal of BASIX-III was to investigate a 15 to 25 km deep zone of
|
|
high-amplitude seismic reflectivity that has been interpreted as a possible
|
|
sub-horizontal detachment linking the San Andreas and Hayward Faults. A
|
|
twelve air gun source array, deployed from the M/V Auriga and a 2400 meter
|
|
hydrophone streamer deployed from the R/V William A. McGaw were used for
|
|
the data acquisition. The streamer was laid directly on the bay floor at
|
|
five separate locations in San Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun Bays and
|
|
remained stationary for two days at each recording site. The air gun array
|
|
was towed past the streamer and out to offsets of 25 km and fired at
|
|
approximately 150 to 200 meter intervals. When data processing is
|
|
completed, the resulting images should better define the structural
|
|
relationship of the lower crustal reflective layer and the vertical
|
|
strike-slip faults that comprise the Pacific-North American plate boundary.
