Description Over several summer field seasons from 1990 through 1994, several workers searched ditches and river banks for evidence of liquefaction. They found numerous banks with shaking-induced, pre-historic, earthquake induced sandblows and the dikes that fed them

Overview of attributes

This database was developed on a SPARCstation 20
computer system using ARC/INFO 7.0.2 software.  The lineset
and shadeset files are coded for a HP DesignJet 650C plotter
using HPGL2 software.
