    Description:
      Abstract:
        This part of SIM 3281 presents data for folds for the geologic and geomorphic map (see sheet 10, SIM 3281) of the Offshore of Santa Barbara map area, California. The vector data file is included in "Faults_OffshoreSantaBarbara.zip," which is accessible from http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/OffshoreSantaBarbara/data_catalog_OffshoreSantaBarbara.html.

        This map area lies within the Western Transverse Ranges geologic province, which is north of the California Continental Borderland (Fisher and others, 2009).  This province has undergone significant north-south compression since the Miocene, and recent GPS data suggest north-south shortening of about 6 mm/yr (Larson and Webb, 1992).  The active, east-west-striking Pitas Point Fault (a broad zone that includes south-dipping reverse faults), Red Mountain Fault, and Rincon Creek Fault are some of the structures on which this shortening occurs (see, for example, Jackson and Yeats, 1982; Sorlien and others, 2000; Fisher and others, 2009).  This fault system, in aggregate, extends for about 100 km through the Ventura and Santa Barbara Basins and represents an important earthquake hazard (see, for example, Fisher and others, 2009).

      Purpose:
        To expand geologic mapping to the seafloor within California's State
        Waters, to update coastal geologic mapping, and to contribute to a
        uniform regional geologic database. Additionally, to provide a geologic
        map for the public and geoscience community to aid in assessments and
        mitigation of geologic hazards in the Santa Barbara coastal plain region
        and to provide sufficient geologic information for land-use and
        land-management decisions both onshore and offshore.

  Data_Quality_Information:
    Logical_Consistency_Report:
      Map elements were visually checked for overshoots,
      undershoots, duplicate features, and other errors by the
      lead authors and by the GIS technician(s) who created the digital database.
      Review drafts of the map were reviewed internally by at least two other geologists for consistency
      with basic geologic principles and general conformity to USGS mapping
      standards.
    Completeness_Report:
      Data are complete: no offshore features that could be accurately identified and
      represented at the compilation scale of 1:24,000 were eliminated or
      generalized. The smallest area represented is approximately 100 square
      meters. All geospatial database elements are attributed.
    Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
        Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
          Faults were primarily mapped by interpretation of seismic reflection profile data (see sheet 8, SIM 3281).

          Fault lines were digitized by heads-up screen digitization on to shot-point picks from seismic-
          line navigation data - each shot point has an associated lat/long in the survey data. Error is introduced
          from layback, as well as from interpretation of oblique features, so horizontal accuracy of fault and fold
          location is estimated to be on the order of 10 to 20 meters.
