New maps of global geologic provinces and tectonic plates: global tectonics data and QGIS project file
<p>The global tectonics data compilation is a set of raster and vector data that are useful for investigating tectonics past and present. The datasets are useful on their own or can be used in GIS software, which includes the QGIS project file for convenience. The datasets include our new models for tectonic plate boundaries and deformation zones, geologic provinces and orogens. Additional datasets include earthquake and volcano locations, geochronology, topography, magnetics, gravity, and seismic velocity.</p> <p>The global tectonics collection is suitable for research and educational purposes.</p>

The static polygons (4) and continental polygons (5) are optional. </div> <div> </div> <div>The two rotation files need to be 'connected' in order for the model to run continuously from 410 to 0 Ma. In the GPlates 'Layers' window (opened from the main navigation bar, click 'Window' -> 'Show Layers') the rotation files will be highlighted yellow, yet only one will have a yellow tick next to it to signify it is being used. Click the small black triangle to the left the ticked rotation file. Under 'Inputs' -> 'Reconstruction features' click 'Add new connection' and then select the other rotation file from the list of files that will appear. This will ensure that both rotation files are active. </div> <div> </div> <div>Finally, it is recommended to experiment with geometry visibility in order to make the globe less cluttered.

Southern South Island, New Zealand, seismic observations and velocity model for Tectonics 2021TC007006
<p>This archive has data and results from the Tectonics paper, “The influence of basement terranes on tectonic deformation: joint earthquake travel-time and ambient noise tomography of the southern South Island, New Zealand” (Eberhart-Phillips et al., 2022; doi:10.1029/2021TC007006). That work incorporated earthquake observations from the 2014-2015 Otago temporary broadband network. Group velocity observations are in ‘groupvel_obs_otaf_T5_T9.vgsw’. We used earthquakes observed on the COSA temporary network. The Otago-COSA travel-times and hypocenters are in ‘tt_archive.tar’. The Otago earthquakes were evaluated within Seiscomp. Those observation files, which include polarity, are in ‘polarity_bulletin.tar’. We did not use the polarities in the Tectonics paper, but we archive them here for completeness. The waveform data will be available from IRIS.</p> <p>The southern South Island 3-D velocity model is provided in the table ‘vlotf30xyzltlnDWSSF.mod’, with DWS (derivative weight sum) describing the distribution of data, and SF (spread function) describing the resolution averaging. Later on, this will be merged into the New Zealand wide velocity model version 2.3, which will be placed on Zenodo.</p>

Landscape transience reveals a bottom-up control on soil production. In review. 2024.” for details on the field methodology and data analysis. Details about each data product also are provided below. </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>1. Geotiffs.</div> <div> </div> <div>We provide georeferenced TIFF files of the (i) surface elevation, (ii) geological map, (iii) cumulative uplift, and (iv) uplift rate at Dragon’s Back Pressure Ridge, Carrizo Plain, California. The coordinate system for the geotiffs is WGS84 / UTM Zone 11 N (EPSG:32611). All geotiffs are provided at 0.5 m x 0.5 m spatial resolution. Details about each dataset are provided below.</div> <div> </div> <div>(i) Surface elevation. We use LiDAR data from the 2005 B4 Lidar Project, acquired and processed by the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM). The full LiDAR dataset is available for download from OpenTopography (https://portal.opentopography.org/datasetMetadata?otCollectionID=OT.032018.32611.1). We convert the LiDAR point cloud to a 0.5 m gridded bare earth digital elevation model (DEM). </div> <div> </div> <div>(ii) Geological map. The original geological map of Dibblee (1973, 1999) is available from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) at https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1999/of99-014/. This mapping was refined by Arrowsmith (1995) and Hilley & Arrowsmith (2008). We modify the geological map using high-resolution satellite imagery (from Google, ESRI, and Bing mosaics), as well as high-resolution imagery from the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP), in order to follow the contacts of the Pink, Tan, and Gray members of the Paso Robles Formation. The units on the geological map are coded as:</div> <div>1 - Pink Member, Paso Robles Formation</div> <div>2 - Tan Member, Paso Robles Formation</div> <div>3 - Gray Member, Paso Robles Formation</div> <div>4 - Undifferentiated Paso Robles Formation</div> <div>5 - Quaternary alluvium (older)</div> <div>6 - Quaternary alluvium (younger)</div> <div>7-8 - Quaternary landslides and terraces</div> <div> </div> <div>(iii) Cumulative uplift. We follow the general approach of Hilley & Arrowsmith (2008) to reconstruct the cumulative uplift at Dragon’s Back Pressure Ridge based on the observed positions and elevations of the stratigraphic contacts between the Pink, Tan, and Gray members of the Paso Robles Formation. Put simply, since the Pink, Tan, and Gray members of the Paso Robles Formation are initially flat-lying, the progressive increase in elevation of the contacts between these members from the start to the middle of the Dragon’s Back Pressure Ridge records the cumulative tectonic uplift. We perform a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) inversion to reconstruct the uplift history that can best explain our geological observations (i.e., the positions and elevations of the Pink, Tan, and Gray members of the Paso Robles Formation). See section 6 for the Matlab code used to perform the MCMC inversion.</div> <div>Dataset A: “cumulative_uplift_mean.tif” -- the mean reconstructed cumulative uplift (units: meters).</div> <div>Dataset B: “cumulative_uplift_uncertainty_IQR.tif” -- the uncertainty of the reconstructed cumulative uplift (units: meters), documented as the inter-quartile range (IQR), the difference between the 75th percentile and the 25th percentile of the MCMC cumulative uplift estimates.</div> <div> </div> <div>(iv) Cumulative uplift rate. The uplift rate dataset is constructed by taking the spatial derivative of the cumulative uplift dataset (iii) in the along-strike direction of the San Andreas Fault, and then converting from space to time using the long-term slip rate on the San Andreas Fault of approximately 33 mm/yr. This is the same approach as used in Hilley & Arrowsmith (2008).</div> <div>Dataset A: “uplift_rate_mean.tif” -- the mean reconstructed uplift rate (units: mm/yr).</div> <div>Dataset B: “uplift_rate_uncertainty_IQR.tif” -- the uncertainty of the reconstructed uplift rate (units: mm/yr), documented as the inter-quartile range (IQR), the difference between the 75th percentile and the 25th percentile of the MCMC estimates.</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>2. Ground penetrating radar (GPR).</div> <div> </div> <div> <p>The GPR data were acquired with a MALA HDR GPR system with a 450 MHz shielded antenna. Data were acquired every 4 cm, tracked by a survey wheel for precise relative positioning. The GPR survey covered approximately 19 km of ridgeline and included 21 short (approximately 10 m) ridgetop profiles with cone penetrometer observations that serve as ground-truth for the depth of the soil-saprolite boundary inferred from the GPR data. The GPR data were processed using the open-source GPRPy software (Plattner, 2020). We constrained sub-surface velocities by fitting 364 diffraction hyperbolas in the GPR transects. The hyperbola fitting supports a spatially-uniform velocity of approximately 0.11 m/ns. The locations and fitted velocities of the individual hyperbolas used to construct this velocity model are included in the file “GPR_velocities.csv.”</p> <p>The folder “Radar450MHz_raw” includes the raw radar data. The folder “Radar450MHz_GPS” includes the GPS data associated with each radar dataset (saved as .cor files). The GPS observations are aggregated in the spreadsheet “GPS_all” in that folder. The shapefile folder includes the final processed GPR-derived soil thickness estimates (soil thickness reported in units of meters) as a .shp file. The coordinate system for the shapefile is WGS84 / UTM Zone 11 N. </p> </div> <div> </div> <div>3.

Cone penetrometer observations.</div> <div> </div> <div> <div>This folder contains 3 files:</div> <div>1. ConePenetrometerSummaryTable_Overview.csv: A summary of the 212 cone penetrometer stations. For each station, there is metadata about the location (GPS coordinates), the stratigraphic unit (Pink, Tan, or Gray Member of the Paso Robles Formation), the side of the ridge, (southeast = SW, center = C, or northwest = NW), and the saprolite weakness, calculated as the cone penetrometer ease of penetration [cm/strike] at the position of the soil-saprolite boundary. </div> <div>2.

Data repository for the paper "Tectonics and seismicity in the Northern Apennines driven by slab retreat and lithospheric delamination"
<p>Output data from a numerical modeling study analyzing the Tectonics and seismicity of the Northern Apennines in relation to the geodynamic mechanism (slab retreat and crustal delamination) suggested to be driving the orogenic system.</p> <p>Understanding how long-term subduction dynamics relates to short-term seismicity and crustal tectonics is a challenging but crucial topic in seismotectonics. We attempt to address this issue in the context of the Northern Apennines orogenic belt, which displays characteristic tectonic and seismogenic behaviors on a wide range of spatiotemporal scales. We use a visco-elasto-plastic seismo-thermo-mechanical (STM) modeling approach with a realistic 2D setup based on available geological and geophysical data. In accordance with regional geodynamics, subduction dynamics and seismicity are simulated together, driven solely by slab pull. Our numerical experiments suggest that lower crustal rheology and lithospheric mantle temperatures modulate the crustal tectonics of the Northern Apennines. Results indicate that the observed spatial distribution of the upper crustal tectonic regimes requires buoyant and highly ductile material beneath the suture zone. This allows protrusion of the asthenosphere in the lower crust, lithospheric delamination, and slab retreat. The resulting horizontal velocities and principal stress axis orientations agree with observations, suggesting that slab delamination and retreat are compatible with regional deformation. Our simulations successfully reproduce the presence of seismicity in the thrust front and on normal faults in the interior of the range. Slab temperatures and lithospheric mantle stiffness distinctly affect the cumulative seismic moment release and the spatial distribution of upper crustal earthquakes. The properties of deep, sub-crustal material are thus shown to influence model shallow seismicity, even though the upper crust is largely mechanically decoupled from the lithospheric mantle. Our simulations therefore highlight the important effect of deep crustal rheologies and self-driven subduction dynamics in controlling the shallow, brittle deformation and related seismicity during an ongoing orogeny.</p> <p>The repository consists of the following: 1) the executable code for running the model (i2_istm and in2_istm, the latter of which is used to initialise the model); 2) the setting files for which timesteps to output (mode.t3c and mode_istm.t3c, the latter of which is for the short-term phase of the model), the model setting files (init_istm.t3c), rock type and temperature setup images (prf_app.tif and tfin.tif, respectively); and 3) the output quantities in the model for the last timestep in HDF5 format (app400.gzip.h5), the list of ruptured markers (pick_events_app.txt) and GPS-station-like markers at the surface (eachdt_gpsmarker_app.txt), and the time limits used for computing average velocities from the GPS marker positions (timelims.mat).</p> <p>The files used for the figures in the paper relate to the reference model and 9 other models: 2 models with different rheology for the Adriatic lower crust, 2 models with different temperatures in the mantle, and 5 models with different shear modulus in the Adriatic lithospheric mantle. The two models with different lower crust rheology (granulite and plagioclase) were not run in short-term mode and therefore no GPS-like or ruptured markers logs are available for them. Descriptive prefixes are used to identify which model each file refers to. The rock type setup is common to all models included here. The reference temperature setup is also used for the models with different shear modulus in the slab and the model with granulite lower crust rheology. The model with plagioclase lower crust rheology has a different temperature setup with a hotter lower crust, as mentioned in the paper; it is not a simple exploration of the effect of rheology, but an attempt to get the lower crust to be very ductile through a combination of a ductile rheology (but less so than in the reference model) and high temperatures.</p> <p>For information about the modeling code, setup, results, and interpretation, please refer to the paper. This repository will be updated with the final paper information after publication.</p>
