Seismic Landslide Hazard for the City of Berkeley, California.

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
description: This map describes the possible hazard from earthquake-induced landslides for the city of Berkeley, CA. The hazard depicted by this map was modeled for a scenario corresponding to an M=7.1 earthquake on the Hayward, CA fault. This scenario magnitude is associated with complete rupture of the northern and southern segments of the Hayward fault, an event that has an estimated return period of about 500 years. The modeled hazard also corresponds to completely saturated ground-water conditions resulting from an extreme storm event or series of storm events. This combination of earthquake and ground-water scenarios represents a particularly severe state of hazard for earthquake- induced landslides. For dry ground-water conditions, overall hazard will be less, while relative patterns of hazard are likely to change.; abstract: This map describes the possible hazard from earthquake-induced landslides for the city of Berkeley, CA.
