A model of the lower seismogenic depth distribution of earthquakes in the western United States was developed to support models for seismic hazard assessment that will be included in the 2023 USGS National Seismic Hazard Model. This data release presents a recalibration using the hypocentral depths of events M>1 from the Advanced National Seismic System Comprehensive Earthquake Catalog from 1980 to 2021. For higher precision and better resolution in the model, the data were supplemented with seismicity from southern California that was relocated by Hauksson and others (2012). Along the San Andreas Fault, the deepest seismogenic depths are located at 23 km around the Cholame segment, whereas the shallowest depths...

Output from the 2021 National Seismic Hazard Model for Hawaii includes probabilistic seismic hazard curves calculated for a 0.02° x 0.02° grid of latitude/longitude locations across Hawaii. The new model provides an expanded suite of hazard curves for twenty-three different ground motion intensity measures, including PGA, PGV, and spectral accelerations for 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7.5 and 10 second, and eight separate soil site classes (VS30 = 1500, 1080, 760, 530, 365, 260, 185, and 150 m/sec), representing NEHRP site classes A/B, B, B/C, C, C/D, D, D/E, and E.

Peak ground acceleration ground motion values for 50, 10, and 2 percent probability of exceedance in 50 years are converted to equivalent modified Mercalli intensity using the relationships of Worden and others (2012). Values are for NEHRP site class B/C with a VS30 = 760 m/s.

Gridded, uniform-hazard data for 2%, 5%, and 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years were extracted from the hazard curves for all twenty-three ground-motion intensity measures and all eight soil site classes. The ground-motion intensity measures, including PGA, PGV, and spectral accelerations for 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7.5 and 10 second, and the soil site classes include VS30 = 1500, 1080, 760, 530, 365, 260, 185, and 150 m/sec, representing NEHRP site classes A/B, B, B/C, C, C/D, D, D/E, and E.

The 2018 Update of the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model defines the potential for earthquake ground shaking for various probability levels across the conterminous United States and is applied in seismic provisions of building codes, insurance rate structures, risk assessments, and other public policy. The updated model represents an assessment of the best available science in earthquake hazards and incorporates new findings on earthquake ground shaking, seismicity, and long-period amplification over deep sedimentary basins. The new model represents an update of the seismic hazard model; previous versions were developed in 1996, 2002, 2008, and 2014. The output from the National Seismic Hazard Model is a suite...

This data set contains maps and shapefiles of uniform-hazard ground motion values calculated for a grid of points with a spacing of 0.2° in latitude and longitude over the conterminous U.S and Alaska, and 0.02° over Hawaii, using the 2023 National Seismic Hazard Model. 2%, 5% and 10% in 50-year probability of exceedance values are shown for peak ground acceleration (PGA), and 0.2, 1, and 5 second spectral acceleration for VS30 = 760 and 260 m/s, representing the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program site conditions B/C and D, respectively.

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.

This data release contains data sets associated with the 2023 50-State National Seismic Hazard Model Update. The 2023 50-State National Seimsic Hazard Model (NSHM) Update includes an update to the NSHMs for the conterminous U.S (CONUS, last updated in 2018), Alaska (AK, last updated in 2007), and Hawaii (last updated in 2001). Data sets include inputs like seismicity catalogs used as input to the smoothed seismicity model and updated induced seismicity zone polygons in the central and eastern U.S., as well as outputs like hazard curves and uniform-hazard ground motion values. Plots of selected data sets are also included. The data sets provided here are primarily for the 2023 CONUS NHSM and 2023 AK NSHM. Additional...

This data set represents probabilisitic seismic hazard curves and uniform-hazard ground motion values calculated for a grid of points with a spacing of 0.2 degrees in latitude and longitude over the conterminous U.S. (CONUS) and Alaska (AK) using the 2023 National Seismic Hazard Model. CONUS The data sets includes (1) probabilistic seismic hazard curves (full and truncated) for two peak parameters, peak ground velocity (PGV) and peak ground acceleration (PGA), and pseudo-spectral accelerations at 21 oscillator periods between 0.01 and 10s, and (2) uniform-hazard ground motion values for 2, 5, and 10% in 50 years probability of exceedance (PE) (corresponding to 2,475, 975, and 475-year return periods, respectively)...

The 2023 National Seismic Hazard Model for the conterminous United States considers the full catalog and several declustered catalogs in calculating earthquake rates and seismic hazard. These catalogs were declustered using the Reasenberg and nearest neighbor methods. All of these catalogs are included here and are described in more detail in the paper by Llenos and others (2023).

The 2021 update of the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model for Hawaii succeeds the twenty-year-old former model by incorporating new data and modeling techniques to improve the ground shaking forecasts. Output from the model includes probabilistic seismic hazard curves calculated for a 0.02° x 0.02° grid of latitude/longitude locations across Hawaii. The new model provides an expanded suite of hazard curves for twenty-three different ground motion intensity measures, including PGA, PGV, and spectral accelerations between 0.01 and 10 second, and for eight separate soil site classes (VS30 = 1500 m/sec to 150 m/sec), representing NEHRP site classes A/B to E. In addition, gridded uniform- hazard data are provided...

Hazard curves for VS30 equal to 760 m/s and 260 m/s (NEHRP site class B/C and D), for 0.2, 1.0, and 5.0 second periods, as well as PGA, are available for download below. The data are for a 0.05o by 0.05o grid of points covering the conterminous United States. Hazard curves for addtional periods and site classes can be found here. While the gridded hazard curve data includes ground motions at long return periods, the USGS does not recommend using hazard values below 10-5 (100,000 years), and cautions users using values below 10-4 (10,000 years). These models were developed for building codes concerned with return periods of 10-4 and above.
