GeoMapNW - Research & Mapping Areas
RESEARCH & MAP AREAS

Our geographic focus is the central Puget Lowland, an extensively urbanized area within a very complicated geologic setting. It is host to numerous geologic hazards such as volcanic activity, earthquakes, faulting, landslides, liquefaction, and other ground failures. These hazards, and their associated costs, are not unique to a single jurisdiction and thus our efforts in any one area are improving the quality of information available over the region as a whole.
