Seismic Risk (2% in 50 years) |
Geology |
Geological Survey |
|
|
Abstract:
Depicts risk of seismic peak horizontal ground acceleration (the fastest measured change in speed, for a particle at ground level that is moving horizontally due to an earthquake) with a 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years. Values are given in %g, where g is acceleration due to gravity, or 9.8 meters/second^2. The lines of equal hazard, which are the lines between the polygons, were determined by interpolating from a grid of equally spaced points in latitude and longitude. Each point was weighted based on the seismic hazard at that location. The grid spacing is 0.1 degrees for Alaska, 0.05 degrees for the conterminous United States, and 0.02 degrees for Hawaii.

Coalbed Methane Field |
Geology |
Energy Information Administration |
|
|
Abstract:
This dataset is field boundary polygons of Coalbed Methane (CBM) based on producing wells in the USA. Field outline polygons were created by buffering wells from each field. Buffered well polygons from each field were then unioned into a single polygon record (may contain multiple rings). A smoothing algorithm was applied to the polygons.

|
Abstract:
This dataset is a qualitative assessment of geothermal potential (Enhanced Geothermal System EGS) for the US based on Levelized Cost of Electricity, with CLASS 1 being most favorable, and CLASS 5 being least favorable. This dataset does not include shallow EGS resources located near hydrothermal sites or USGS assessment of undiscovered hydrothermal resources.
