Digital Database Development and Seismic Characterization and Calibration for theMiddle East and North Africa

摘要

Our objective is to collect and organize all available seismological,geophysical, and geological data sets for the Middle East and North Africa into a comprehensive Geographic Information System (GIS). In addition, we are producing original results, such as crustal structure beneath available broadband seismic stations, in areas where there is no available information. We are distributing the organized databases in ArcInfo GIS format and menu driven access tools and with a specially designed World Wide Web (WWW) server. We have also developed metadata to document the resolution and accuracy of the already organized data sets.
