Deployed services use version 1.7. Please use this version for future services. Service and layer name examples with this schema are as follows: service name = SCSeismicHypocenters, layer name = Hypocenter; service name = ARSeismicHypocenters, layer name = Hypocenter

This spreadsheet indicates the content requested for features representing Seismic event hypocenter observations. Design is focused on hypocenters portrayed as points with an associated depth. Hypocenter data for geothermal data system is intended as a tool to identify seismically active areas that are often associated with hydrothermal activity, thus the content model does not include detailed information that would be important for seismological analysis; such information should be accessed by including related resource links. As such data should be restricted to records for known or suspected seismic events.

This template defines the content model for a service that delivers seismic event hypocenter observations. Many of these will be standard map location and IDs, but other information may be delivered. Much of the variation will concern procedures used to recorded events, citations, and possible other collected data that may be useful for geothermal resource research. The seismic event hypocenter template should be used when compiling geo data from maps and field data. The content model presented here is intended to present key information necessary to query a seismic event hypocenter observation service and to evaluate the reported activity and potentially related features (faults).
