Geology Portal App Launches

Put Washington’s Geologic Information Portal in your pocket!

  • Have you ever wondered if the café you were sitting in was, in turn, sitting on the Osceola Mudflow?
  • Do you want to map out your tsunami evacuation route for an upcoming trip to the coast?
  • Have you reached the job site in Seattle and forgotten critical boring log data?

 

Now you can explore Washington’s geology, learn about geologic hazards, and find borehole lithology data — all from your mobile device.

This app is a much-simplified beta version of the Washington Geologic Information Portal, a desktop-based interactive map containing detailed and comprehensive geologic data about Washington state. This app is ideal for geology students, professionals and those familiar with geologic terms and concepts.

Available Layers:

  • Surface Geology at 1:500,000, 1:100,000, and 1:24,000 scales and geochronology data
  • Tsunami Evacuation, assembly areas, local landmarks, evacuation zones and map boundaries
  • Subsurface Data from geotechnical borings and water wells
  • Faults, Earthquakes, and Tsunamis: Find active faults and folds, trenches, earthquakes, liquefaction susceptibility, seismic site class, and tsunami inundation modeling
