Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolyline

Description: This data set contains locations and information on faults and associated folds in the United States that are believed to be sources of M>6 earthquakes during the Quaternary (the past 1,600,000 years). On the website, maps of these geologic structures are linked to a database containing detailed descriptions and references. The database is intended to be the USGS?s archive for historic and ancient earthquake sources used in current and future probabilistic seismic-hazard analyses. Our website presents for the first time a single source that summarizes important information on paleoseismic (ancient earthquake) parameters. These data are compiled from thousands of journal articles, maps, theses, and other documents, as referenced herein. The database is designed to serve a variety of needs, both in terms of the user community and methods of delivering the data.

Copyright Text: The project coordinator is Michael Machette (USGS). The database structure was created by Kathy Haller (USGS) and an early version of the web interface and search engines were created by Larry Mayer (formerly of the University of Miami at Oxford, Ohio). The GIS data was engineered and maintained by Richard Dart (USGS). The fault and fold traces were digitized mainly by Richard Dart, with help from Dean Hancock*. Static maps were made by Susan Rhea (USGS), Richard Dart, and Damon Sather*. The graphic web browser and ArcIMS module (still under development) were created by Susan Rhea, Damon Sather*, Karen Morgan*, and John Cox*. Much of the reference database and entry of data into the text database was done with the able assistance of Philly Morrow, Meredith Frey, and Kelli Clark (*, all former student interns or contractors to the USGS). Compilers and cooperators are listed on the web page (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/qfaults/contrib.html). Compilers are those who described faults or folds for the database. Cooperators are those who assisted with the development of digital fault data (traces), the database structure, or the geographical information system (GIS) interfaces.
