  1. Title: World (Earthquakes, 2003)

    • Point data
    • 2003
    Contributors:

    Summary: This data base provides information on earthquakes from2100 B.C. to the present. The data base containsearthquakes with known magnitude values between 0.1 and9.9. Earthquakes that have no computed magnitude values arealso included in the data base. Users of micro-earthquakedata (magnitude less than or equal to 0.0) should contactinstitutions that operate seismograph networks in theirarea of interest. In reality, there are very few eventswith magnitude less than 2.0 in the data base.

  2. Title: Global GIS : Earthquake epicenters (1973-2003)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a point coverage representing earthquake epicenters (1973 through March, 2003). Historical data for this layer were derived from: USGS/NEIC, 1973- March 2003: (PDE) Preliminary Determinations of Epicenters, Monthly Listing. This list is the most complete computation of hypocenters and magnitudes done by the USGS NEIC. It is normally produced a few months after the events occur. The publication is called 'Preliminary' because the 'final' computation of hypocenters for the world is considered to be the Bulletin of the Internation Seismological Centre (ISC), which is produced about two years after the earthquakes occur. The NEIC PDE program contributes about one-third off all data used by the ISC.

  3. Title: Global GIS : Significant earthquakes (2150 B.C. until 1994 A.D.)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This shapefile includes points which represent locations of significant historical earthquakes worldwide documented from 2150 B.C. until 1994 A.D. Data included here was derived from the 'Catalog of Significant Earthquakes 2150 B.C. to the present : including quantitative casualties and damage,' by Paula K. Dunbar, Patricia A. Lockridge, and Lowell S. Whitewide (a National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) publication). Post-1991 data is supplemented by the USGS/National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC). This catalog is available as an online database, with significant earthquake data kept up-to-date, on the NGDC Web site. The events were gathered from scientific and scholarly sources, regional and worldwide catalogs, and individual event reports. The list includes all events that meet at least one of the following criteria: Moderate damage (approximately $1 million or more); Ten or more deaths; Magnitude 7.5 or greater; Intensity X or greater (for events lacking magnitude)

  15. Title: Hydrocarbon Gas Liquid Pipelines, United States, 2014

    Contributors:

    Summary: This line shapefile represents major hydrocarbon gas liquid (HGL) pipelines in the United States as of November 2014. HGL refers to both the natural gas liquids (paraffins or alkanes) and olefins (alkenes) produced by natural gas processing plants, fractionators, crude oil refineries, and condensate splitters but excludes liquefied natural gas (LNG) and aromatics. HGL is both fuel and feedstock in various markets (petrochemicals, residential heating/cooking, agriculture, and motor fuel blending). Seasonal and regional fluctuations in these end-use sectors, including export markets, affect investment and production decisions throughout the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry. Billions of dollars have been invested recently in the field gathering systems, lease separators, crude/condensate stabilizers, natural gas processing plants, fractionation facilities, refineries, condensate splitters, pipelines, storage caverns, rail terminals, port facilities, ethylene crackers, and other petrochemical plants that constitute HGL infrastructure. This layer includes interstate trunk lines and selected intrastate lines and are based on publicly available data from a variety of sources with varying scales and levels of accuracy.

  17. Title: Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts, United States, 2014

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile contains petroleum administration areas for defense districts (PADDs) within the United States as of 2014. PADDs are geographic aggregations of the 50 States and the District of Columbia into five districts: PADD 1 is the East Coast, PADD 2 the Midwest, PADD 3 the Gulf Coast, PADD 4 the Rocky Mountain Region, and PADD 5 the West Coast. Due to its large population, PADD 1 is further divided into sub-PADDs, with PADD 1A as New England, PADD 1B the Central Atlantic States, and PADD 1C comprising the Lower Atlantic States. There are two additional PADDs (PADDs VI and VII) that encompass U.S. Territories (these are not pictured on the map). The PADDs help users of the Energy Information Administration's petroleum data assess regional petroleum product supplies.

    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of a map of San Francisco showing the burned areas of San Francisco resulting the Earthquake in 1906. The original map appears in Carnegie Institution Of Washington. Atlas Of Maps And Seismograms Accompanying The Report Of The State Earthquake Investigation Commission Upon The California Earthquake Of April 18,1906. Andrew C. Lawson, G.K. Gilbert, H.F. Reid, J.C. Branner, A.O. Leuschner, George Davidson, Charles Burckhalter, W.W. Campbell. Washington, D.C. 1908. This project traces the history of urban planning in San Francisco, placing special emphasis on unrealized schemes. Rather than using visual material simply to illustrate outcomes, Imagined San Francisco uses historical plans, maps, architectural renderings, and photographs to show what might have been. By enabling users to layer a series of urban plans, the project presents the city not only as a sequence of material changes, but also as a contingent process and a battleground for political power. Savvy institutional actors--like banks, developers, and many public officials--understood that in some cases to clearly articulate their interests would be to invite challenges. That means that textual sources like newspapers and municipal reports are limited in what they can tell researchers about the shape of political power. Urban plans, however, often speak volumes about interests and dynamics upon which textual sources remain silent. Mortgage lenders, for example, apparently thought it unwise to state that they wished to see a poor neighborhood cleared, to be replaced with a freeway onramp. Yet visual analysis of planning proposals makes that interest plain. So in the process of showing how the city might have looked, Imagined San Francisco also shows how political power actually was negotiated and exercised. California.
