Summary

The boundaries (polygons and their tables) of the zones of induced seismicity are provided as documentation for the 50-state update of the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) of 2023. These zones are within the conterminous United States and have assigned durations to represent seismicity that is considered induced. Previous NSHMs also considered the role of induced seismicity (Petersen and others, 2018 and Petersen and others, 2017) which is a separate category from other anthropogenic sources considered in the seismicity catalogs used in the hazard models. For expanded explanations, see Llenos and others (2023) and the metadata which also contains documented references used in this study.

Purpose

We provide tabulated and geospatial data of the induced seismicity zones along with metadata that records the origins of the data as documentation of this contribution to the 50-state update of the National Seismic Hazard Model of 2023.
Map figure of 2023 induced zones and seismicity for seismic hazard update.
Map figure of 2023 induced zones and seismicity for seismic hazard update.
