Camille Collett
I am a Support Geologist with the Earthquake Hazards Program and am currently on detail with the Office of Communications and Publishing as a Public Affairs Specialist.
Biography
I started as a Support Geologist with the Earthquake Hazards Program (EHP) in December, 2019. I help my team conduct research of active faults (primarily) in the Intermountain West via fieldwork, mapping and other desktop / GIS research methods and by maintaining field equipment and vehicles. Since starting this position I have contributed to projects related to the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone, the Wasatch fault zone, updates to the National Seismic Hazard Model, and more.
I also help with EHP and general USGS science outreach, education and communication by creating social media content, through local commnuity outreach, with interactive ArcGIS storymaps (aka Geonarratives - see Ridgecrest Storymap below), and more.
I am currently working a detail with the Office of Communications and Publishing where I help cover earthquake, marine and other science within the USGS via media engagement, writing news releases, and more.

Earthquake geology inputs for the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) 2023, version 1.0
This Data Release contains preliminary versions of two related databases: 1) A fault sections database ("NSHM2023_FaultSections_v1"), which depicts the geometry of faults capable of hosting independent earthquakes, and 2) An earthquake geology site information database ("NSHM2023_EQGeoDB_v1"), which contains fault slip-rate constraints at points. These...

Compilation of geologic slip rate constraints used in 1996—2014 U.S. National Seismic Hazard Maps
A key input for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is geologic slip rate data. Yet, no single database exists to house all geologic slip rate data used in these calculations. Here, we compile all geologic slip rates that are reportedly used in U.S. National Seismic Hazard Map (NSHM) releases from 1996, 2002, 2007, 2008, and 2014. Although a new NSHM was released in 2
