Abstract

This Data Release provides synthetic probability density functions used in the geologic deformation model as part of the 2025 National Seismic Hazard Model update for Puerto Rico-U.S. Virgin Islands. We include files implemented in the earthquake rupture forecast using the inversion framework. Modeling philosophy and methodologies are described in the interpretative companion manuscript: "Making many out of one: Synthetic geologic deformation model distributions for use in USGS NSHM25 Puerto Rico-U.S. Virgin Island update" published in Seismological Research Letters.
