Description:

Abstract:

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. This database shows where they searched.

Purpose:

The data was generated to help in understanding the seismotectonic hazards in the vicinity of the lower Wabash Valley. This data complements similar data collected in the vicinity of New Madrid, MO US Geological SurveyOpen-File Report 95-0574, available at http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/0574/
