Abstract: The ArcView dataset contained great circle routes that connected selected city-pairs around the Pacific Basin. A great circle route is the shortest distance between two points on the Earth's surface. Actual air routes can vary significantly from the great circle routes, which were for reference purposes only and should not be used for navigational purposes. Supplemental Information: Actual air routes also were too detailed and numerous to be shown on the ArcView HAZPAC map; therefore, the ArcView dataset showed only principal air routes. All great circle routes for city-pairs in the ArcView dataset were created digitally from the original paper map, except for the following three city-pairs, which were added to incorporate Latin American countries: Mexico City - Los Angeles; Mexico City - Caracas; and Mexico City - Santiago.

Abstract: The Global GIS Database was derived from National Imagery and Mapping Agency's (NIMA) Vector Map Level 0 (VMAP0) database (Digital Chart of the World, 3d ed.). The following is quoted directly from USGS's Global GIS Database website (and published CD-ROMs): "The Vector Map (VMap) Level 0 database represents the third edition of the Digital Chart of the World. VMap Level 0 is a comprehensive 1:1,000,000 scale vector basemap of the world. It consists of cartographic, attribute, and textual data ... . The primary source for the database is the National Imagery and Mapping Agency's (NIMA) Operational Navigation Chart (ONC) series. This is the largest scale unclassified map series in existence that provides consistent, continuous global coverage of essential basemap features." The Operational Navigation Chart (ONC) series was assembled at a scale of 1:1,000,000 from medium- and low-altitude aerial photographs, and the themes were digitized from the photographs. Additional sources enhanced the accuracy of the dataset. Supplemental Information: The Global GIS Database world airport dataset contained data on 7016 airports in the Circum-Pacific region. The ACI data, which were attached to the Global GIS Database dataset by International Air Transport Association (IATA) codes, provided additional data on passenger and cargo load for 670 of the 7016 airports. Although the "Global GIS Database: Digital Atlas of the Earth" DVD-ROM publication (DDS-62-H) is at present [Summer 2002] still "in press," the USGS has published CD-ROMs in the "Global GIS Database" series for three areas in the Circum-Pacific region (all are available from U.S. Geological Survey; see below for address): DDS-62-A, Digital Atlas of Central and South America (Hearn and others, 2000); DDS-62-C, Digital Atlas of South Asia (Hearn and others, 2001); and DDS-62-D, Digital Atlas of South Pacific (Hearn and others, 2001).

Verification and validation (V&V) studies have been conducted routinely for all regions and more extensively for portions of the Middle East and the Southwestern United States." "Considerable effort is required to reconcile the positional accuracy of diverse global databases, and mismatches among databases are most conspicuous on coastlines. Globally, LandScan coastlines are based on NIMA's [National Imagery and Mapping Agency] World Vector Shoreline (WVS) at 1:250,000 scale. Typically, this coastline differs somewhat from the related line representing the seaward boundary of administrative units, and both of these differ from the land/water boundary indicated on the GLCC [Global Land Cover Characteristics, by the U.S. Geological Survey] gridded database. ... The WVS takes precedence, and no population is apportioned to cells extending more than one-half cell beyond the WVS coastline." Supplemental Information: For incorporation into ArcView HAZPAC, the vector data was rasterized into a gridded surface with 30-second by 30-second resolution. The rasterized coastal boundaries were clipped based on the ArcView "POPULATION DENSITY" grid, and then the countries were returned to their original vector format. This allowed the country boundaries to closely match the ArcView "POPULATION DENSITY" grid extent.

Each city was georeferenced using coordinate information located in the U.S. National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) database of foreign features. Note: The population census years differ between different locations. Supplemental Information: Some cities do not have population data; others only have data for urban- agglomeration rather than city-proper population. Populations originally labeled '...' (no data) by the U.N. Statistical Division were changed in the ArcView HAZPAC publication to '-9999' for both urban-agglomeration and city- proper information. [The value '-9999' is a standard value used in GIS database management that keeps the data field numeric, which allows data to be mathematically analyzed and queried.] A binary data field was added for "CAPITAL": cities that are capitals were assigned a '1' value, and non-capitals a '0' value. Cities without population data were removed. Access Constraints: None Use Constraints: Three year usage starting December 2000, Permission Number 2000/088.

The events in the file must have met at least one of the following criteria: moderate damage (approximately $1 million or more), 10 or more deaths, Richter magnitude 7.5 or greater, or Modified Mercalli intensity X or greater (for events lacking Richter magnitude). b) The Seismicity of the Earth Database recorded earthquake events of only Richter magnitude 6.0 or greater. The events occurring prior to 1900 A.D. were assigned an epicenter based on the locations where damage occurred. Supplemental Information: The earthquake database used in the ArcView HAZPAC publication was customized at the NGDC. Both the Significant Earthquake Database and the Seismicity of the Earth Database were combined into one final earthquake dataset. Redundant earthquakes were excluded. After combining, the ArcView HAZPAC database contained earthquake events dating from 780 B.C. to Fall 2001 A.D. Richter magnitude is based on surface waves (Ms) or the equivalent derived from intensities for pre-instrumental events. The magnitude is a logarithmic measure of seismic energy: an increase of 1.0 in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in the recorded wave amplitude; however, the energy release associated with an increase of 1.0 in magnitude is about thirty fold.

[prepared by the Circum-Pacific Council for Energy and Mineral Resources]. Abstract: The following is quoted directly from the pamphlet that accompanies the original paper map: "The Energy-Resources Map of the Circum-Pacific Region, [Pacific] Basin Sheet is a compilation at a scale of 1:17,000,000 of a series of four overlapping 1:10,000,000-scale map sheets. The maps in the 1:10,000,000 series include the Northeast Quadrant, Southeast Quadrant, Northwest Quadrant, and the Southwest Quadrant, and an Arctic Sheet." Each 1:10,000,000-scale map sheet was composed by a special international working group (from the Circum-Pacific Council), who also prepared explanations for each separate map project, and then a joint group created the final copy of the Circum-Pacific Energy-Resources Map. Supplemental Information: The ArcView HAZPAC database originated from the (unpublished) digital files used in the production of the original paper map of the Energy-Resources Map of the Circum-Pacific Region, Pacific Basin Sheet; however, several changes were made in order to make the data suitable for ArcView HAZPAC. As a result, data was manipulated during this process; thus, manual editing may have resulted in minor errors. The energy-resources data in ArcView HAZPAC resulted from merging five separate energy-resources polygon coverages into one coverage. A new field called "type" was created, and the original "ptype" values were copied into this new field. Original categories included oil, natural gas, oil sand, oil shale, and six subcategories of coal. Then, all values of the various coal subcategories were replaced with one 'coal' value, which allowed easier display of the data while preserving the original data in the database. A sixth energy- resources category, geothermal (a point coverage), was excluded.

Abstract: The Global GIS Database was derived from National Imagery and Mapping Agency's (NIMA) Vector Map Level 0 (VMAP0) database (Digital Chart of the World, 3d ed.). The following is quoted directly from USGS's Global GIS Database website (and published CD-ROMs): "The Vector Map (VMap) Level 0 database represents the third edition of the Digital Chart of the World. VMap Level 0 is a comprehensive 1:1,000,000 scale vector basemap of the world. It consists of cartographic, attribute, and textual data.... The primary source for the database is the National Imagery and Mapping Agency's (NIMA) Operational Navigation Chart (ONC) series. This is the largest scale unclassified map series in existence that provides consistent, continuous global coverage of essential basemap features." The Operational Navigation Chart (ONC) series was assembled at a scale of 1:1,000,000 from medium- and low-altitude aerial photographs, and the themes were digitized from the photographs. Additional sources enhance the accuracy of the dataset. Supplemental Information: The railroads from each country were merged together in ArcInfo. Data quality varies. For example, data are missing for countries where data do exist. In addition, the data are derived from aerial photographs, and they often reflect what pilots consider to be important for navigation. Although the "Global GIS Database: Digital Atlas of the Earth" DVD-ROM publication (DDS-62-H) is at present [Summer 2002] still "in press," the USGS has published CD-ROMs in the "Global GIS Database" series for three areas in the Circum-Pacific region (all are available from U.S. Geological Survey; see below for address): DDS-62-A, Digital Atlas of Central and South America (Hearn and others, 2000); DDS-62-C, Digital Atlas of South Asia (Hearn and others, 2001); and DDS-62-D, Digital Atlas of South Pacific (Hearn and others, 2001).

Cartography coordinated by Frances Mills and Douglas Aitken. Date: 2001 Title: Geologic Map of the Circum-Pacific Region, Pacific Basin Sheet Publication Reference: Drummond, Kenneth J.; Corvalán D., José; Inoue, Eiji; Palfreyman, W. David; Doutch, H. Frederick; Craddock, Campbell; Sato, Tadashi; McCoy, Floyd W.; Moore, George W.; Richards, Paul W.; Swint-Iki, Theresa R.; and Gartner, Anne L., 2001, Geologic Map of the Circum-Pacific Region, Pacific Basin Sheet: U.S. Geological Survey Circum-Pacific Map Series Map CP-49, scale 1:17,000,000, 81 p. [prepared by the Circum-Pacific Council for Energy and Mineral Resources]. Abstract: The following is quoted directly from the pamphlet that accompanies the original paper map: "The Geologic Map of the Circum-Pacific Region, Pacific Basin Sheet, is a compilation at a scale of 1:17,000,000 of a series of five overlapping 1:10,000,000-scale map sheets. The maps in the 1:10,000,000 series include the Northeast Quadrant, Southeast Quadrant, Northwest Quadrant, Southwest Quadrant, and the Antarctic Region sheets." Each 1:10,000,000-scale map sheet was composed by a special international working group (from the Circum-Pacific Council), who also prepared explanations for each separate map project, and then a joint group created the final copy of the Circum-Pacific Geologic Map. Supplemental Information: The ArcView HAZPAC database originated from the (unpublished) digital files used in the production of the original paper map of the Geologic Map of the Circum-Pacific Region, Pacific Basin Sheet; however, several changes were made in order to make the data suitable for ArcView HAZPAC. As a result, data was manipulated during this process; thus, manual editing may have resulted in minor errors. The seafloor-sediment data in ArcView HAZPAC resulted from merging five separate seafloor-sediment polygon coverages into one coverage. A new field called "sediment" was created, and the original "ptype" values were copied into this new field.

The polygon coverage contains an item called "Tc_zone", which ranks each polygon from 1 to 5 on the basis of the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (wind speed). Supplemental Information: The original coverage was in decimal degrees and had the Atlantic Ocean in the middle. First, the coverage was reprojected into Mercator projection with the Pacific Ocean in the middle; it was then clipped to our target boundaries. Next, polygons were merged around longitude 180 degrees East/West. The coverage was then reprojected into Mollweide projection.

The event database (1410 B.C. to Summer 2001 A.D.) contains information on the tsunami, such as the cause of the tsunami, the source location, the magnitude and intensity of the tsunami, etc. The runup database contains information on locations where tsunami effects occurred. However, there is not a one-to-one correspondence between these two datasets. Some events do not have runup information; on the other hand, some events have many locations where a runup height was recorded. The Crowding the Rim GIS Development team decided to only use the tsunami runup database for HAZPAC. Supplemental Information: Some attributes that did not have values were assigned either 'Unknown' or '-9999' values. [The value '-9999' is a standard value used in GIS database management that keeps the data field numeric, which allows data to be mathematically analyzed and queried.] Tsunamis labeled 'Less than' or 'Greater than' were assigned the value 'Questionable' to avoid ambiguity. Also, runups lacking geospatial coordinates were dropped from the database.
