Boyd, O.S. 20230530 Electronic Reston, VA U.S. Geological Survey https://doi.org/10.5066/P9N32H5Y Evansville, Indiana has a dense urban population near faults capable of producing major earthquakes. A high probability of a moderate earthquake in the near future (e.g., a 25–40% probability of a magnitude 6.0 or greater in the next 50 years) from the New Madrid seismic zone, and more moderate probability of a similar-sized earthquake in the Wabash Valley, coupled with relatively low regional attenuation (in other words, seismic waves have the potential to do damage and propagate over a greater geographic area in this region than for the same magnitude earthquake in the western U.S.) necessitates being prepared for earthquake hazards. This dataset provides maps of probabilistic and deterministic earthquake ground motions and liquefaction hazard for the Evansville, Indiana metropolitan area. The purpose of this dataset is to provide users maps of probabilistic and deterministic ground motion and liquefaction hazards for Evansville, Indiana. 2023 publication date Complete None planned -87.74 -87.38 37.76 38.12 ISO 19115 Topic Category geoscientificInformation USGS Thesaurus earthquakes hazards earthquake occurences maps and atlases None USGS Geologic Hazards Science Center GHSC Earthquake Hazards Program EHP USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:63ae09a7d34e92aad3ca5bae Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) United States none none Boyd, Oliver S.
