SCEC Vertical Motion Map

The SCEC Vertical Motion Map was a project to tabulate geologic constraints on rates of uplift and subsidence in southern California using fluvial terrace data, river profiles, beach terraces, and thermochronology data. The results of this project were originally presented in

Niemi, Oskin and Rockwell (2008) Southern California Earthquake Center Geologic Vertical Motion Database, Geochem. Geophys. Geosyst., 9, Q07010, doi:10.1029/2008GC002017.

That publication referred readers to find the database at http://www.scec.org/resources/data/vmdb/ which forwarded to an interactive Postgres database and web server at http://geomorph.geosci.unc.edu/vertical. Unfortunately, the web server and interactive database are no longer maintained. A flat file containing all of the vertical uplift information represented in the original publication and database is available here to allow continued use of this dataset.
