Description:

Abstract:

The map shows faults and folds in the state of Oregon that exhibit evidence of Quaternary deformation, and includes data on timing of most recent movement, sense of movement, slip rate, and continuity of surface expression.

Purpose:

The primary purpose of this compilation is for use in earthquake-hazard evaluations. Paleoseismic studies, which evaluate the history of surface faulting or deformation along structures with evidence of Quaternary movement, provide a long-term perspective that augments the short historic records of seismicity in many regions. In particular, the frequency and location of large-magnitude earthquakes in many parts of the U.S. is poorly defined by the historic record of seismicity. An understanding of the seismogenic characteristics of prehistoric faults is vital to improving seismic-hazard assessments in all regions, not just those having low to moderate levels of historic seismicity.

Process_Description:

Most fault and fold traces were derived from existing regional fault compilations. A few traces were derived from detailed studies at larger scales, and compiled on 1/2° x 1° (1:100,000-scale) or 1° x 2° (1:250,000-scale) quadrangles. The traces were digitized for use in Arc/Info-Geographic Information System (GIS) software that permits rescaling, output in a wide variety of projections, and attribution (assigning colors, line weights, and symbols). In addition to location and style of faulting, the map shows the time of most recent movement and slip-rate category for each structure. These data, as well as name and affiliation of the compiler, date of compilation, and geographic and other paleoseismologic parameters are included in the database. Published or publicly available (NEHRP contract reports, theses, etc.) data are the primary sources of data used to compile this report. This compilation is presented as a digital map product and catalog of data in Adobe Acrobat pdf format. The catalog provides referenced data on a variety of geographic, geologic, and paleoseismologic parameters. The fault data were compiled by the senior author as part of ongoing studies of Quaternary faulting in Oregon. The authors are responsible for organizing and integrating State and regional products under the national project, including the coordination and oversight of contributions from others (Personius), digitization and manipulation of map data (Dart), map design and layout (Bradley), and database design and management (Haller). Project members are currently working on a web-based version of the database into which the current data from Oregon has been ported.
