1_README_EXPORT.TXT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HAZPAC: An Interactive Map of Pacific Rim Natural Hazards, Population, and Infrastructure (ArcInfo export files) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Publication Reference: Bemis, Brynn L., Goss, Heather V., Yurkovich, Eric S., Perron, J. Taylor, and Howell, David G., 2002, HAZPAC: An interactive map of Pacific Rim natural hazards, population, and infrastructure: U.S. Geological Survey Digital Data Series DDS-76 (CD-ROM). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION TO THE HAZPAC ARCINFO EXPORT FILES (MADE FROM ARCVIEW HAZPAC DATA): This CD-ROM includes ArcInfo export (.E00) files of HAZPAC data. All vector data in the ArcView versions of HAZPAC have been converted to ArcInfo export (.E00) files for use with different types of GIS software (for example, ArcInfo, MapInfo, or MAPublisher) on different platforms (for example, Windows, UNIX, or Macintosh). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTENTS OF THE "HAZPAC_EXPORT" FOLDER ON THIS CD-ROM: 1_README_EXPORT.TXT - this README file METADATA_EX.TXT - metadata for the HAZPAC export files AIR_ROUTES.E00 AIRPORTS.E00 BOUNDARIES.E00 CABLES.E00 CITIES.E00 COUNTRIES.E00 EARTHQUAKES.E00 ENERGY_RESOURCES.E00 GEOLOGIC_AGE.E00 GEOLOGIC_ROCK.E00 RAILROADS.E00 RIVERS.E00 ROADS.E00 SEAFLOOR_SEDIMENT.E00 STORM_ZONES.E00 TSUNAMIS.E00 UTILITIES.E00 VOLCANIC_ERUPTIONS.E00 VOLCANOES.E00 WATER.E00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATA IN THE HAZPAC ARCINFO EXPORT FILES (MADE FROM ARCVIEW HAZPAC DATA): All vector data in the ArcView versions of HAZPAC have been converted to ArcInfo export (.E00) files. The data in the original ArcView shape files were projected into the Mollweide projection, around a central meridian of 160.00 degrees West (-160.00 degrees) longitude. For more detailed information about the sources and formats of, or modifications to, the data in the HAZPAC export (.E00) files, please consult the file METADATA_EX.TXT (located in the "HAZPAC_EXPORT" folder). The ArcInfo export (.E00) files are listed below, in alphabetical order [original HAZPAC ArcView theme names are shown in brackets]: AIR_ROUTES.E00 [MAJOR AIR ROUTES] -- Great circle routes connecting major city-pairs in the Circum-Pacific region AIRPORTS.E00 [MAJOR AIRPORTS] -- Major airports in the Circum-Pacific region BOUNDARIES.E00 [COUNTRY BOUNDARIES] -- Boundaries of countries in the Circum-Pacific region CABLES.E00 [SUBSEA TELECOMMUNICATION CABLES] -- Principal subsea telecommunication cables in the Circum-Pacific region CITIES.E00 [MAJOR CITIES] -- Cities in the Circum-Pacific region having more than 100,000 people COUNTRIES.E00 [COUNTRIES] -- Countries in the Circum-Pacific region EARTHQUAKES.E00 [EARTHQUAKES] -- Earthquakes recorded in the Circum- Pacific region having a Richter magnitude of 6.0 or greater ENERGY_RESOURCES.E00 [ENERGY RESOURCES] -- Non-renewable energy resources in the Circum-Pacific region GEOLOGIC_AGE.E00 [AGE OF ROCKS] -- Geologic age of rocks in the Circum- Pacific region GEOLOGIC_ROCK.E00 [GEOLOGY OF ROCKS] -- Geology of rocks in the Circum- Pacific region RAILROADS.E00 [RAILROADS] -- Principal railroads in the Circum-Pacific region RIVERS.E00 [MAJOR RIVERS] -- Major rivers in the Circum-Pacific region ROADS.E00 [MAJOR ROADS] -- Major roads in the Circum-Pacific region SEAFLOOR_SEDIMENT.E00 [SEAFLOOR SEDIMENT] -- Type of sediment on the seafloor in the Circum-Pacific region STORM_ZONES.E00 [TROPICAL STORM ZONES] -- Tropical storm zones in the Circum-Pacific region TSUNAMIS.E00 [TSUNAMI RUNUPS] -- Tsunami runups recorded in the Circum- Pacific region UTILITIES.E00 [UTILITIES] -- Principal utility lines in the Circum-Pacific region VOLCANIC_ERUPTIONS.E00 [VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS] -- Historical volcanic eruptions recorded in the Circum-Pacific region VOLCANOES.E00 [VOLCANOES - ACTIVE IN LAST 10,000 YEARS] -- Active volcanoes in the Circum-Pacific region WATER.E00 [WATER] -- Background for display purposes only ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATA CREDITS Airports Council International Circum-Pacific Council for Energy and Mineral Resources Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.

The Crowding the Rim GIS Development Team has made every effort to maintain the integrity of the original datasets whenever possible. Obvious errors in the data have been corrected, but, in most cases, the data is presented "as is." In some cases, however, data had to be manipulated in order to make them suitable for HAZPAC. As a consequence, manual editing may have resulted in minor errors during this process. For details concerning the sources of, as well as any modifications to, the data in the HAZPAC export (.E00) files, please consult the file METADATA_EX.TXT (located in the "HAZPAC_EXPORT" folder).
