Create Custom Hazard Maps
Replot local portions of national hazard maps. You define
center and span.
-
Earthquake Probability
Map and table of probability that an earthquake with
magnitude > M and distance < R will occur in the next
k years. Centered on user-supplied location.
-
Interactive Deaggregations
Tables and plots of source contributions to hazard
exceedance by magnitude, distance, ε and
ε0 in the conterminous US, Alaska, and
Hawaii.
-
Banded Deaggregations
Tables of mean and modal magnitude and distance, and plot
of contribution to hazard within specified ground-motion
bands for conterminous US.
-
Interactive Hazard Maps
On-line SA or PGA maps for 2% or 10% in 50 year PE
for conterminous US with features you can turn on
and off. Zoom in or pan out.
-
Vs30
Generates map and grid of Vs30 derived from topographic
slope for anywhere in the world.
