Abstract

Abstract. Active faults serve as potential sources of destructive earthquakes. Studies and investigations of active faults are necessary for earthquake disaster prevention. This study presents a nation-scale database of active faults in China and its adjacent regions, in tandem with an associated web-based query system. This database is an updated version of the active faults data included in the Seismotectonic Map of China and its Adjacent Regions (1:4 000 000), which is one of the four essential maps of the mandatory Chinese standard GB 18306-2015 Seismic Ground Motion Parameter Zonation Maps of China. The data update and integration stem from regional-scale studies and surveys conducted over the past 2 decades (at reference scales from 1:250 000 to 1:50 000). The information amassed from these regional-scale studies and surveys encompasses geophysical probing, drill logging, measurement of offset landforms, sample dating, as well as geometric and kinematic parameters of exposed and blind faults, paleo-earthquake sequences, and recurrence intervals. These data have been acquired and analyzed utilizing a uniform technical standard framework and reviewed by expert panels in both field and laboratory settings. Our system hosts this nation-scale database accessible through a Web Geographic Information System (GIS) application, enabling browsing, querying, and downloading functionalities via a web browser. The system we built also publishes the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Feature Service and the OGC Web Map Service of active faults data. Users can incorporate map layers and obtain fault data in OGC-compliant GIS software for further analysis through these services. The Chinese government, research institutions, and companies have widely used the active faults data from the previous versions of the database. The database is available at https://doi.org/10.12031/activefault.china.400.2023.db (Xu, 2023) and via the web system (https://data.activetectonics.cn/arcportal/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=684737e8849c4170bbca14447608c451, CEFIS, 2023; http://data.activetectonics.cn/arcserver/services/Hosted/CAFD400_2022_WFS/MapServer/WFSServer, CAFD WFS, 2024).

中国主动故障数据库（CAFD）及其网络系统

摘要活动断层是破坏性地震的潜在震源。对活动断层的研究和调查对预防地震灾害十分必要。本研究建立了一个全国范围的中国及其邻近地区活动断层数据库，并提供了相关的网络查询系统。该数据库是《中国及其邻近地区地震构造图（1:4 000 000）》中活动断层数据的更新版，而《中国及其邻近地区地震构造图（1:4 000 000）》是中国强制性标准 GB 18306-2015《中国地震地动参数区划图》中的四幅基本图之一。数据更新和整合源自过去 20 年开展的区域尺度研究和调查（参考比例尺从 1:250 000 到 1:50 000）。从这些区域尺度的研究和调查中积累的信息包括地球物理探测、钻探测井、偏移地貌测量、样本年代测定，以及裸露断层和盲断层的几何和运动参数、古地震序列和重现间隔。这些数据的获取和分析采用了统一的技术标准框架，并由专家小组在实地和实验室环境中进行审查。我们的系统通过网络地理信息系统 (GIS) 应用程序托管了这个全国规模的数据库，可通过网络浏览器实现浏览、查询和下载功能。我们建立的系统还发布了开放地理空间联盟（OGC）网络特征服务和活动断层数据的 OGC 网络地图服务。用户可通过这些服务在符合 OGC 标准的 GIS 软件中加入地图图层并获取断层数据，以便进一步分析。中国政府、研究机构和企业已广泛使用该数据库前几个版本中的活动断层数据。该数据库可通过 https://doi.org/10.12031/activefault.china.400.2023.db（Xu，2023 年）和网络系统（https://data.activetectonics.cn/arcportal/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=684737e8849c4170bbca14447608c451，CEFIS，2023 年；http://data.activetectonics.cn/arcserver/services/Hosted/CAFD400_2022_WFS/MapServer/WFSServer，CAFD WFS，2024 年）获取。

期刊介绍： Earth System Science Data (ESSD) is an international, interdisciplinary journal that publishes articles on original research data in order to promote the reuse of high-quality data in the field of Earth system sciences. The journal welcomes submissions of original data or data collections that meet the required quality standards and have the potential to contribute to the goals of the journal. It includes sections dedicated to regular-length articles, brief communications (such as updates to existing data sets), commentaries, review articles, and special issues. ESSD is abstracted and indexed in several databases, including Science Citation Index Expanded, Current Contents/PCE, Scopus, ADS, CLOCKSS, CNKI, DOAJ, EBSCO, Gale/Cengage, GoOA (CAS), and Google Scholar, among others.
