Paleoseismology of Utah, Volume 23 - Compilation of U.S. Geological Survey National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program Final Technical Reports for Utah (MP 13-3)

Paleoseismology of Utah, Volume 23 - Compilation of U.S. Geological Survey National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program Final Technical Reports for Utah (MP 13-3) was compiled by Steve D. Bowman and William R. Lund. This publication serves as the twenty-third installment in the "Paleoseismology of Utah" series. It brings together a comprehensive collection of previously difficult-to-access "legacy" reports, including 20 final technical reports from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)-funded National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) paleoseismic investigations conducted between 1978 and 2012, one pre-NEHRP report, and 36 annual or semi-annual summaries.

The primary objective of this compilation is to make crucial information regarding paleoearthquake and fault parameters readily available to geoscientists, engineers, planners, public officials, and the general public. These studies provide vital data on aspects such as earthquake timing, recurrence, displacement, slip rate, fault geometry, and segmentation. By consolidating these reports, the publication significantly contributes to the characterization of potential seismic sources and improves the evaluation of long-term seismic hazards associated with Utah's Quaternary faults, ultimately aiding in earthquake risk reduction for the region.
