Publication_Date: 2013 Title: Quaternary Faults and Folds (QFF) Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: map Series_Information: Series_Name: Digital Data Series Issue_Identification: DDS 3 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Fairbanks, AK, USA Publisher: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Online_Linkage: http://dx.doi.org/10.14509/24956 Online_Linkage: http://maps.dggs.alaska.gov/qff/ Description: Abstract: Alaska is the most seismically active region of the United States. However, little information exists on the location, style of deformation, and slip rates of Quaternary faults. This interactive map displays locations and relative activity of Alaska's faults and folds. The map offers zoom and scroll options, and multiple base map layers. Click individual fault and fold traces to view basic fault parameters: name, age, slip rate, slip sense, dip direction, mapping certainty, and mapped scale. This resource is intended to provide simple and quick means of visualizing structure locations and characteristics. Users must recognize mapping certainty and data accuracy limitations when zooming in farther than the stated mapped scale for a given feature and treat resulting visual representations with appropriate caveats. The structures displayed are replicated from DGGS publications MP 141 (Quaternary) and MP 150 (pre-Quaternary). Purpose: To provide an accurate, user-friendly, reference-based fault inventory to the public, we have compiled an interactive map which displays locations and relative activity of Alaskas faults and folds. This resource is intended to provide simple and quick means of visualizing structure locations and characteristics. Users must recognize mapping certainty and data accuracy limitations when zooming in farther than the stated mapped scale for a given feature and treat resulting visual representations with appropriate caveats. Supplemental_Information: This FDGC compliant metadata file describes an interactive map interface. To facilitate use of the underlying datasets that are displayed by the interactive map application we provide a digital data distribution package containing the originating shapefiles and their associated metadata. The DGGS metadata standard extends the FGDC standard to include elements that are required to facilitate our internal data management. These elements, referred to as "layers," group and describe files that have intrinsic logical or topological relationships. Attribute information for the layers (entity) is included in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribute_Information" section. The layers are titled: >qflt-line-alaska: a shapefile of Quaternary faults and folds throughout the state of Alaska, from DGGS publication MP 141 >prequaternary-faults-pflaker-1994: a shapefile of only pre-Quaternary faults and fold traces, from DGGS publication MP 150 Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 2013 Currentness_Reference: ground condition Status: Progress: in work Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: irregular Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: 167 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -129 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 72 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 46 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: ISO 19115 Topic Category Theme_Keyword: geoscientificInformation Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Theme_Keyword: Earthquake Theme_Keyword: Faulting Theme_Keyword: Faults Theme_Keyword: Folds Theme_Keyword: Hazards Theme_Keyword: Active Fault Theme_Keyword: Paleoseismology Theme_Keyword: Alaska Statewide Maps Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Place_Keyword: Alaska, State of Place_Keyword: Alaska Statewide Quadrangle Temporal: Temporal_Keyword_Thesaurus: Walker, J.
