SAFOD (San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth) is a deep-drilling component of EarthScope that is trying to determine the reasons for faults within volcanic rock, which is a point of generation for earthquakes. This project resulted in the accumulation of a large quantity of information that needs to be organized and connected. SAFOD BM2KB aims to provide the scientific community with a knowledge base of current and past findings of research groups about the microstructures and mechanics of brittle faulting from SAFOD cores.
