Datasets documenting neotectonic mapping of Puerto Rico

August 6, 2024

This data release documents neotectonic mapping of fault-related features on high-resolution lidar-derived topography, data documenting an exposure of the South Lajas fault, and summary information for active and potentially active Quaternary faults on the island of Puerto Rico. The data documenting the exposure of the South Lajas fault include detailed unit descriptions, radiocarbon sample descriptions, data, and results, and a structure-from-motion-derived orthophoto mosaic of the exposure. Luminescence data and ages for the exposure can be found in a related data release.
These datasets are associated with the manuscript:
