MORNING

Seismology & Geology
Earthquake waves
Faults
The plate boundary in the Bay Area
Fault map of San José-San Francisco (comes with geologic map of the same area): California Geological Survey, map set RGM-5, currently $18 at the "How to Order" page on their Web site: http://www.consrv.ca.gov/cgs/information/publications/ordering.htm

ABAG Shaking Maps: The "interactive" option sounds inviting, but the "static" maps option is much more stable and requires less bandwith.

ABAG Liquefaction Maps: Likewise, "static" generally is smoother than the "interactive" option.

Putting Down Roots: A new publication by the USGS and many allied groups. Packed with good stuff.
