2019 Ridgecrest, CA: Trona-Argus Area - Post-Earthquake Lidar

Airborne lidar survey of surface ruptures and ground failure features associated with the 4 and 5 July 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquake sequence. This dataset covers the non-tectonic Trona Pinnacles & Argus surface disturbance area. This region is not along the primary tectonic surface rupture , but was collected as part of a larger data collect which covers the areas impacted by the Ridgecrest earthquake. For additional information about this dataset see: Hudnut, K.W., B. Brooks, K. Scharer, J.L. Hernandez, T.E. Dawson, M.E. Oskin, R. Arrowsmith, C.A. Goulet, K. Blake, M.L. Boggs, S. Bork, C.L. Glennie, J.C. Fernandez-Diaz, A. Singhania, D. Hauser, S. Sorhus (2020), Airborne Lidar and Electro-Optical Imagery Along Surface Ruptures of the 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquake Sequence, Southern California, in press, Seismological Research Letters (preprint available upon request) Publications associated with this dataset can be found at NCALM's Data Tracking Center
