Sample Data from a Distributed Acoustic Sensing Experiment at Garner Valley, California

Published by University of Wisconsin | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-09-15T16:53:42Z
In September 2013, an experiment using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) was conducted at Garner Valley, a test site of the University of California Santa Barbara (Lancelle et al., 2014). This submission includes one 45 kN shear shaker (called "large shaker" on the basemap) test for three different measurement systems. The shaker swept from a rest, up to 10 Hz, and back down to a rest over 60 seconds. Lancelle, C., N. Lord, H. Wang, D. Fratta, R. Nigbor, A. Chalari, R. Karaulanov, J. Baldwin, and E.
