Abstract

These folders contain geophysical data from the Deer Run, Blacksburg, VA site which is a part of the Bedrock Cluster of NSF's Critical Zone Collaboration Network. This project, funded by grant NSF EAR-2012353, aims to provide the scientific community with unprecedented access to, data from, and knowledge of the deep CZ and its feedbacks with surface processes.
The data support the paper titled: Active-source environmental seismology by W. Steven Holbrook (wstevenh@vt.edu) Sean Bemis (sbemis@vt.edu) Denise Burgett (burgettd@vt.edu) Ben Eppinger (beppinger@vt.edu) Anya Gupta (anyagup@vt.edu) Shiv Mangal Gupta (shiv3210@vt.edu) and Ivan Rabak (irabak@vt.edu)

These folders contain Seismic and GNSS data from Deer Run, Blacksburg VA site.

The data are collected for an active-source time-lapse study, along a 50 m long seismic line, from June 12-23, 2023.

The source was a small, 0.9-kg hammer impacting a steel plate. Hammer swings were conducted at 5 m spacing, from 0 to 50 m; however, no shots were conducted at x=35 m. In general 2-3 swings were conducted at each location for each repeated line."

Data were collected on Stryde accelerometer nodes, deployed in vertical orientation at 10 cm spacing (slope distance), starting at 0.0 m.

Seismic
Shot gathers (accelerations) are available in SEGY files with descriptive file names, such as S_101.0_45.0_1_22.segy. All the shot gathers are located in one archive file.

‘S’ indicating shot,
‘101.0’ indicating a line shot sequence number (time of day, ‘morning’ or ‘evening’)
‘45.0’ indicating a shot location along the line
‘1’ indicating a shot number
‘22’ file sequence number

Geometry (shot locations, receiver locations and the elevation profile) is in the DeerRunGeometry.zip archive file.
