LIST OF RECENT EARTHQUAKES THAT POSSIBLY HAD SURFACE RUPTURE

The Excel spreadsheet and its accompanying text file list all the shallow (<35 km) M6+ earthquakes that have occurred on-land in the period 2000-2016. These are of a size and type of earthquake that may have produced surface faulting. So in updating the SURE database, we need to ensure that we know whether each of these 134 earthquakes produced surface rupture, and how much. At this point it looks like there are published papers about surface faulting for 20 of these earthquakes. For the rest, we don't know if there was surface rupture or not. I suggest we ask for volunteers from the countries that contain these 114 undocumented earthquakes, and ask them if surface rupture was looked for, and if so, if it was found and what parameters were measured. These volunteers would come from the SURFACE project, or be new paleoseismologists who would like to become involved.
