The U.S. Geological Survey Global Vs30 Mosaic
This data release provides the global mosaic of the time-averaged shear-wave
velocity in the upper 30 m (Vs30) described by Heath and others (2020). This map uses the
Wald and Allen (2007) slope-based Vs30 as the basemap, and regional take precedence where
they are available.
