Gravity and physical property data of northeastern California (ver. 2.0, December 2025)

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:55 AM | Dataset Last Updated: December 08, 2025 at 12:00 AM
This data release contains principal facts of gravity measurements by previous studies and collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1994-2023 and a compilation of existing and new density and magnetic susceptibility data in northeastern California. Gravity data are processed to isostatic anomalies using reduction densities of 2670 and 2200 kilogram/cubic meter. This region is at the intersection of the Cascade arc, the northern Sierra Nevada, the Basin and Range, and the Walker Lane; the crustal structure of this region is of interest for earthquake and volcanic hazards as well as geothermal, mineral, and water resources. These data support modeling of gravity (and magnetic) anomalies to understand the crustal structure beneath this region.
