Dr Allen Gontz is moving to Clarkson University in July 2021. This site will no longer be maintained. A new Clarkson University site is pending.
Welcome to the SDSU Quaternary Geology Lab data archive. Locations of projects with descriptions of data available will be archived here and the supporting data can be made available upon request.
The large sand islands and coastal sand masses of Southeastern Queensland have been a feature of this coast for at least 800,000 years. A research project sponsored by the Australian Research Council sought to investigate the timing and emplacement of previously identified dune morphosequences. The work focused on the Cooloola Sand Mass and K'Gari/Fraser Island. Click HERE for more information about the GPR data collected.
GPR data was acquired on North Stradbroke Island to understand the stratigraphic architecture of aeolian environments adjacent to lakes and wetlands; aquifer structure and relationship to aeolian stratigraphy as well as over lakes and wetlands to understand basin filling.
Various projects supported by the Southern California Earthquake Center and the USGS have collected low altitude aerial imagery using small UAVs to investigate the geomorphology and slip rates of the southern San Andreas Fault. Click HERE for more information about the UAV data collected.
Various projects supported by the Southern California Earthquake Center and the USGS have collected shallow earth geophysics using GPR, seismic reflection and ERT to image the architecture of the southern San Andreas Fault. Click HERE for more information about the geophysical data collected.
There are a host of other projects that have been conducted by members of the Lab. Details on those projects can be found HERE.
