Relationship of basin structure and bedrock lithology to faulting in the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake region, California, from gravity and aeromagnetic data

We investigate patterns of cumulative offsets on the faults that ruptured in 2019 and along the Garlock Fault in the Ridgecrest region, California using recently published gravity and aeromagnetic data. We also examine the relationship of basin structure and bedrock structure to the 2019 M7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake ruptures (Fig. 1A), which were primarily along a dextral northwest-striking fault system, and along a sinistral northeast-striking fault, which ruptured hours earlier with a M6.4 event.

Utilizing hydrophones to detect streambed mobilization in the Wild and Scenic reach of the Rio Chama

This paper describes a study that deployed underwater acoustic sensors (hydrophones) to detect streambed mobilization in the Wild and Scenic reach of the Rio Chama, New Mexico. Fine sediment accumulation in the gravel‑cobble bed affects brown trout spawning habitat, and understanding incipient motion thresholds is essential for planning effective environmental flushing flows released from El Vado Dam. Two hydrophone stations were operated during 2021–2022, capturing audio data during a high‑flow pulse in late 2021. Acoustic processing techniques, including spectral analysis and threshold‑based impact detection, were used to identify sediment‑generated noise associated with coarse sediment transport. Results indicate detectable sediment mobilization during the high‑flow pulse, demonstrating hydrophones’ potential as a passive monitoring tool for environmental flow planning and sediment‑management decision support.
