Ground data acquisition, conducted during May and October 1967, was aimed at determining the reasons for anomalous conditions revealed on the imagery; this study was part of the Geologic Applications Program Task entitled Ground Truth Investigations - NASA No. 160-75,01-44-10.

Introductiori Thermal infrared imgery, recording radiation from 8 to 13 microns in wevelength, vas flow by NASA on JULEIS, 1955 in the Carrizo Plain of southern California. A line approsimtely normal to the regfonal geologic structure tias selected for detailed analysis and is shoi\rn in Yigtire I. Localities at which supplemental observations were made are Figure 1 near here also shown in figure 1. A preliminary report on imagery from the Carrizo Plain was made by Vallate and Moxham (1966, 1967). A published geologic map by Vedder and Repenning (1955) was extensively used in the Caliente Range, and unpublished mzps by both T. I?. Dibblee and J. G. Vedder were used to evaluate the imagery in the Temblor Range. Figure 2 is a genEralized geologic map of the area in :ihich imagsry Figure 2 near here -- . was studied in detail. The stratigraphic nonenclature used on the map and in this report is that of Dibblee (19G2). Fi 3 In the image area the Caliente and Temblor Rafiges are underlain by steeply dipping clastic rocks of late Tertiary age. In addition, 3 basalt flows occur within the Caliente Range sequence. The Caliente and Temblor Ranges in the imzge area are largely mantled by soil or debris derived from the underlying strata, and extensive outcrcps of bare bedrock are C. rare. Imagery The infrared images (figures 3 and 4) are line-scan displays of the i Figures 3, 4, and 5 near here areal distri3ution of radiation intensities in the 8 to 13 microiiwave- length band. Areas of intense radiation are relatively Light in tone; those of relatively weak radiation are dark in tone in the images. r' Radiation intensity varies directly with emissivity and with the fourth power of absolute surface temperature. Curvature near the image margins is a distortion inherent in the scanning technique. Figure 3 is an image made shortly before dawn (0506-0510 PDT) so that the effects of differential solar heating related to slope orienta- tion'are minimized. Figure 4 is an image made shortly after sunrise --- (0635-0638). In this image surfaces warmed by the sun appear relatively bright much as they would in early morning photographs. Figure 5, an aerial photograph of the northeastern part of the imaged strip, was taken from about 35,000 feet on a midswmer day. Figure 3a. he-dawn infrared image - Caliente Range and Carrizo Plain.

The facility would be located in unincorporated eastern San Luis Obispo County, California, approximately one mile north of the community of California Valley and six miles northwest of the Carrizo Plain National Monument. The proposed facility would consist of a solar field of ground-mounted PV modules, an electrical collection system that converts generated power from direct current to alternating current and delivers it to a Project substation for collection and conversion from 34.5 to 230 kV for delivery via a new on-site Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) switching station, and the PG&E switching station that interconnects the Project to PG&E’s existing Morro Bay to Midway 230-kV transmission line.

  • Aerial Reconnaissance of Stream Terraces and Landslides Within Bitterwater Creek Watershed in Kern County, California
    Aerial Reconnaissance of Stream Terraces and Landslides within Bitterwater Creek Watershed in Kern County, California A Senior Project presented to the Faculty of the Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences Department California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Earth Science; Bachelor of Science by Zachary Smith May, 2011 © 2011 Zachary Smith Introduction The California Coast Ranges are relatively recent formations, possibly still being formed, and the understanding of their development is still incomplete. The process of hillslope formation requires uplift, through volcanism, folding, and/or faulting, and subsequent erosion. By looking at a hill's morphology it is possible to understand how it developed and what local forces were involved. For this report I have mapped landslides, fluvial surfaces, and stream terraces within the Bitterwater creek watershed which can later be dated and used to advance the understanding of hillslope development, local tectonism, and climate of California’s Coast Ranges. Study Area The area of interest for this study is the Bitterwater creek watershed (fig. 1). The Bitterwater creek watershed is located within Kern County, California, as part of the southernmost extent of the Temblor Range. The Temblor Range parallels the east side of the San Andreas Fault and is the easternmost set of the Coast Ranges. It is estimated that the whole of the coastal ranges began to form starting ~ .4 Ma due to compressional stress Figure 1.
