Description
Shortly after the May 2, 1983 Ms 6.5 earthquake near Coalinga, CA, the USGS conducted a seismic refraction experiment in the area. The objective of the survey was to derive a detailed velocity model of the upper crust in this region. Such a model would provide further information on the geologic structure of the Coalinga area, as well as provide improved constraints for determining earthquake and aftershock hypocenters.Full size version of plates available in additional file with the report.
