Compilation of geologic slip rate constraints used in 1996—2014 U.S. National Seismic Hazard Models(ver. 2.0, February 2022)

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

A key input for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is geologic slip rate data. 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 2018, no changes were made in geologic slip rate data used. The geologic slip rates are collated from existing NSHM reports and documentation, and no new data are reported herein. The geologic slip rates are coupled with the most up-to-date fault geometries utilized for NSHM calculations, and the data are presented spatially as a shapefile (SHP), in keyhole markup language (KML) and geoJSON. A readme file accompanies this dataset explaining details of the data compilation. This data release corrects minor typographical errors in the initial compilation of geologic slip rates used in U.S. National Seismic Hazard Models (1996-2014). The original compilation (version 1, published August 2020) is now superseded by this edited compilation (version 2, published February 2022). To compare changes between release, a 'Version Changes' file is included in this Data Release.
