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...

Earthquake focal mechanisms and stress inversion results for the conterminous United States.
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...
Data Release for Data Report: Permeability, porosity, and frictional strength of core samples from IODP Expedition 366 in the Mariana forearc Data Release for Data Report: Permeability, porosity, and frictional strength of core samples from IODP Expedition 366 in the Mariana forearc
Core samples from the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 366 were tested in the laboratory to determine permeability, porosity, density, and frictional strength and their relation to mineralogy as part of an effort to understand hydro-mechanical processes at convergent plate margins. Seven samples were tested from a depth range of 19.6 to 197.9 m below the sea floor...
Hurricane Harvey: A Damage Assessment of Texas' Central Gulf Coast Hurricane Harvey: A Damage Assessment of Texas' Central Gulf Coast
This data set serves as a damage scale that was created to assess the damage caused by Hurricane Harvey in August 2017. The damage scale ranges from 1 (undamaged) to 5 (total structure collapse, destroyed). A score of 1 was given to structures that had no damage, a score of 2 was given to structures with minor damage, a score of 3 was given to structures with moderate damage, a score of...
A Bayesian Monte-Carlo Inversion of Spatial Auto-Correlation (SPAC) for Near-Surface Vs Structure Applied to Both Broadband and Geophone Data - Data Release A Bayesian Monte-Carlo Inversion of Spatial Auto-Correlation (SPAC) for Near-Surface Vs Structure Applied to Both Broadband and Geophone Data - Data Release
The datasets for this investigation consist of microtremor array data collected at: 1) 18 sites in Salt Lake and Utah valleys, Utah, and 2) two sites as part of the Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) near Milford, Utah. Each of the 18 sites in the Salt Lake and Utah valleys were acquired with four-sensor arrays with three-component (3C) sensors having flat...
