Database of ground motions from in-slab earthquakes near Anchorage, Alaska, 2008-2019 Database of ground motions from in-slab earthquakes near Anchorage, Alaska, 2008-2019
The dataset contains earthquake ground motions from intermediate-depth (in-slab) earthquakes occurring within 350 km of Anchorage, Alaska 2008-2019. Ground motions are processed as described in the accompanying journal article for rotation-independent horizontal-component ground-shaking at oscillator periods between 0.1 and 10 s.
MinVel MinVel
This program is used to calculate anharmonic p- and s-wave velocity and density for zero-porosity mineral aggregates. It is based on the work of Hacker and Abers (2004, updated in 2016) with additional minerals and optimized for related work. Running the code in either MATLAB or Python requires a mineral physics database, MineralPhysicsDatabase.nc (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9HN170G)...
Results of individual and collocated lifeline exposure to hazards (and associated hazard and multi-hazard exposure surface data) resulting from the HayWired scenario earthquake sequence for counties and cities in the San Francisco Bay area, California Results of individual and collocated lifeline exposure to hazards (and associated hazard and multi-hazard exposure surface data) resulting from the HayWired scenario earthquake sequence for counties and cities in the San Francisco Bay area, California
These data are a summary of modeled exposure of various lifeline infrastructure linear features and facilities (transportation, water supply and wastewater, oil and gas, electric power, and telecommunications) to potential hazards resulting from the HayWired earthquake scenario, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake occurring on the Hayward Fault on April 18, 2018, with an epicenter in the city of...
Fire following the Mw 7.0 HayWired earthquake scenario Fire following the Mw 7.0 HayWired earthquake scenario
These data are a geospatial representation of potential damage resulting from fires following the HayWired earthquake scenario, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake occurring on the Hayward Fault on April 18, 2018, with an epicenter in the city of Oakland, CA. These data take information about prevailing conditions (for example, average wind speed and direction) and potential hazard information...
USGS automated ground motion processing software USGS automated ground motion processing software
The goal of this project is to update, restructure, and consolidate existing USGS ground-motion processing software to incorporate recent advances from researchers at the USGS, PEER, and others. It will standardize tools for multiple USGS ground-motion products and enable scientists within the USGS and the external community to develop and expand ground-motion datasets used in many...
Data Release for the Susceptibility of Oklahoma's Basement to Seismic Reactivation Published in NGEO 2019 Data Release for the Susceptibility of Oklahoma's Basement to Seismic Reactivation Published in NGEO 2019
Recent widespread seismicity in Oklahoma is attributed to the reactivation of pre existing, critically-stressed, and seismically unstable faults due to decades of wastewater injection. However, the structure and properties of the reactivated faults remain concealed by the sedimentary cover. Here, we explore the major ingredients needed to induce earthquakes in Oklahoma by characterizing...
Data Release for Shear Failure of a Granite Pin Traversing a Sawcut Fault published in IJRMMS Data Release for Shear Failure of a Granite Pin Traversing a Sawcut Fault published in IJRMMS
Fault heterogeneities such as bumps, bends, and stepovers are commonly observed on natural faults but challenging to recreate under controlled laboratory conditions. We study deformation and microseismicity of a 76 mm-diameter Westerly granite cylinder with a sawcut fault with known frictional properties. An idealized asperity is added by emplacing a precision-ground 21 mm-diameter solid...

Spatially averaged coherencies (krSPAC) and Rayleigh effective-mode modeling of microtremor data from asymmetric arrays Spatially averaged coherencies (krSPAC) and Rayleigh effective-mode modeling of microtremor data from asymmetric arrays
The datasets for this investigation consist of microtremor array data collected at sites in San Jose, California, Pleasanton, California, and synthetic microtremor array data created as part of a blind shear-wave velocity modeling study as part of the Third International Symposium on the Effects of Surface Geology on Seismic Motion (ESG2006), Grenoble, France, 30 August - 1 September...
Digital Surface Models for the northern 16 km of the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake rupture, northern Lost River fault zone (Idaho, USA) Digital Surface Models for the northern 16 km of the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake rupture, northern Lost River fault zone (Idaho, USA)
We present high-resolution (10-cm pixel) digital surface models (DSMs) generated for the northern 16 km of the surface rupture associated with the 1983 Mw 6.9 Borah Peak earthquake. These DSMs were generated using Agisoft Photoscan (and Metashape) image-based modeling software and low-altitude aerial photographs acquired from unmanned aircraft systems and a tethered balloon. DSM files...
Components of the USGS National Crustal Model (ver. 2.0, September 2025) Components of the USGS National Crustal Model (ver. 2.0, September 2025)
Seismic hazard assessments depend on an accurate prediction of ground motion, which in turn depends on a base knowledge of three-dimensional variations in density, seismic velocity, and attenuation. The datasets here are components of a National Crustal Model that couples geologic characteristics and geophysical parameters using a physical theoretical foundation combined with measured...
Petrologic and Mineral Physics Database for use with the USGS National Crustal Model - Data Release Petrologic and Mineral Physics Database for use with the USGS National Crustal Model - Data Release
We present a petrologic and mineral physics database as part of the USGS National Crustal Model (NCM) for the western United States. Each of 209 geologic units, 134 of which are currently part of the geologic framework within the NCM, is assigned a mineralogical composition according to generalized classifications with some refinement for specific geologic formations. The mineral physics...
