Soil Profile Development Index values for soil pits and cosmogenic ages for nearest sampled boulders in Owens Valley, California. The dataset supplements a Geological Society of America journal article on slip rates on the Fish Springs fault. It is hosted on the GSA Data Repository, an open file for supplementary article information.
Use Cases
- Calculate fault slip rates based on cosmogenic nuclide ages mentioned in the description.
- Model soil profile development over time based on PDI values.
- Correlate soil development stages with surface exposure ages from boulders.
- Validate geomorphic models for fan surface evolution in Owens Valley.
Strengths
- Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed GSA journal article.
- Hosted on the authoritative Geological Society of America Data Repository.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific study area in Owens Valley.
