title: Supporting GIS file for: Tectonic landform and lithologic age impact uncertainties in fault displacement hazard models

description: This project aims to understand how the error in mapped fault location and the residual between the modeled and observed coseismic displacements vary with tectonic landform and the surficial lithologic age. We focus on four historical earthquakes: the M6.9 Borah Peak, 2014 M6.0 Napa, 2016 M7.0 Kumamoto, and 2016 M7.8 Kaikoura earthquakes.

The GIS shape file contains information about the tectonic landform, the surficial landscape age, the observed and modelled coseismic displacement, fault location error, and the confidence ranking of the mapped fault trace. Each entry corresponds to a location where a displacement measurement was made following the earthquake of focus. Additional detail is given in the readme.

The entries in the GIS file are collected from the following references:
