The paleoliquefaction database was developed for the "CEUS Seismic Source Characterization Project for Nuclear Facilities" and later updated during "Paleoliquefaction Studies in Moderate Seismicity Regions with a History of Large Earthquakes," sponsored by the U.S. NRC. The database includes all major regional datasets, including information on the type, size, and age of liquefaction features, for the Central Virginia seismic zone, Charleston seismic zone, Marianna, Arkansas, region, New Madrid seismic zone, New Madrid-Wabash Valley region, Wabash Valley seismic zone, St. Louis region, Newburyport, Massachusetts, and Charlevoix seismic zone and Saguenay region, Quebec.
For information about these regions, see Technical Report, Appendix E (click for report).

Puerto Rico databases were developed in 2022 for National Earthquake Hazard Program Award No. G21AP10006. For more information about the region and list of references, see Technical Report (click here), For information about the format of the database click here.
CEUS and Puerto Rico Radiocarbon and Optically Stimulated Luminescense (OSL) Databases
The radiocarbon and OSL databases complement the CEUS paleoliquefaction database and provide the actual data on which age estimates of liquefaction features are based in the paleoliquefaction database.
The Puerto Rico radiocarbon database complements paleoliquefaction database and provides the actual data on which age estimates of liquefaction features are based.
