Appendix A—Updates to the California Reference Fault Parameter Database—Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, Version 3 Fault Models 3.1 and 3.2 By Timothy E. Dawson Introduction This report describes revisions to the California Reference Fault Parameter Database. This database was originally developed for use in the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, version 2 (UCERF2) by the 2007 Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities (WGCEP, 2008). The databases used in UCERF2 were designed to be flexible and intended to serve as the foundation for future seismic hazard models, including updates to UCERF. To that end, Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, version 3 (UCERF3) has adopted the database structure and entries used by UCERF2. The purpose of this report is to document additions and edits to the database. For a description of how the database was designed and originally populated, see the UCERF2 report (Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities, 2008) and Wills and others (2008). The reader also is referred to and encouraged to use the Southern California Earthquake Center-Virtual Display of Objects (SCEC-VDO), a visualization tool available to interactively view the UCERF2 and UCERF3 fault models. Within SCEC-VDO, the user can toggle between the UCERF2 and UCERF3 fault models,
