Northern Walker Lane Refraction Survey
May 20-24, 2002
PI: John Louie, PhD, University of Nevada, Reno
Project Map
A 450-km line on 199 RT-125 ``Texan'' recorders, extending from Auburn, Calif.
to the Barrick GoldStrike mine in north-central Nevada.
Quarry blasts at the GoldStrike mine and a quarry near Watsonville, Calif. provide
a near-reversed profile of P-wave arrival times crossing the Northern Sierra Nevada,
Northern Walker Lane, and the Battle Mountain heat-flow high.
For more information on the results of the project go to our public website for the Crustal Seismic Velocity Database for the Western Great Basin.
