[CEUS-earthquake-hazards] Article on Central U.S. Earthquake hazard by expert panel

[Russell L Wheeler]

Thanks for these 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?

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.

Mike,

Here are the Chinese 1956 intensity (the largest historical intensity) and 
2001 PGA (10 % PE in 50 years PSHA) hazard maps. 

Relationship between the intensity and peak ground acceleration (PRCNS, 
2001)
Peak ground acceleration (g) \0.05  0.05  0.10-0.15  0.15-0.20  0.20-0.30 
0.30-0.40    >0.40
Earthquake intensity                 \VI      VI            VII     VII    
    VIII            VIII              >IX


Thanks.


Zhenming
