Synthetic geologic deformation model distributions for use in 2025 USGS Puerto Rico-U.S. Virgin Islands National Seismic Hazard Model update

April 23, 2026

This Data Release provides synthetic probability density functions used in the geologic deformation model as part of the 2025 National Seismic Hazard Model update for Puerto Rico-U.S. Virgin Islands. We include files implemented in the earthquake rupture forecast using the inversion framework. Modeling philosophy and methodologies are described in the interpretative companion manuscript: "Making many out of one: Synthetic geologic deformation model distributions for use in USGS NSHM25 Puerto Rico-U.S. Virgin Island update" published in Seismological Research Letters.
