Summary

Seismicity catalogs, gridded seismic hazard curve data, gridded ground motion data, and mapped gridded ground motion values are available for the 2008 National Seismic Hazard Model for the Conterminous U.S. (1) Seismicity catalogs are available for the western U.S. (in Mw) and central and eastern U.S. (in mb). (2) Gridded (0.05 degree by 0.05 degree) ground motion values and hazard maps are available for peak ground acceleration (PGA) and 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 second spectral acceleration (SA) at probability levels of 2% in 50 years (annual probability of 0.000404), 5% in 50 years (annual probability of 0.001026), and 10% in 50 years (annual probability of 0.0021), assuming firm rock soil conditions at 760 m/s, for the [...]
