maps, Zhenming. As nearly as I can tell, the PDE epicenter of the 2009 M7.9
Wenchuan earthquake plots on the two maps at 0.10 g (PGA) and IX or larger. Do
you know what intensity scale was used for the 1956 map?</SPAN> <BR><BR><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Also, in case any
of us would like to cite the maps, do you know the other elements of their
formal citations (author, title, publisher, place of publication, scale of
publication)? E.g., I'd like to add the citations to an ms. when it returns
from journal review. The 2001 map is much more detailed than the 1999 GSHAP
map.</SPAN> <BR><BR><SPAN
