The Oklahoma Fault Database (OKFault) is the most comprehensive compilation of mapped faults within Oklahoma. This effort captures faults from published literature and the necessary metadata, so these faults can be referenced in the future. Both surface and subsurface faults are being documented within the same database framework, however they are only represented on a 2-dimensional plane and do not have 3-dimensional projection. The database framework is based in modern open-source GIS platforms. This is a large and ongoing effort, constructed for newly identified resources to be incorporated and updated into the existing database. Initially, there was no effort to prevent duplicate fault characterizations from multiple sources, this was done intentionally to allow comparison between different author representations of the same fault. Therefore, the second part of this effort is to build an interpreted fault map which provides a single representation for multiple mapped versions of the same fault and evaluate faults based on their associated metadata. The goal is to provide a single fault map that represents the geologic complexity within Oklahoma. Ultimately, there will be two separate products: a comprehensive fault map, and an interpreted fault map. A preliminary interpreted fault map is available, Holland (2015). OKFault allows users to easily access and use any information about any fault and those faults used to help constrain the interpreted faults. This database is a unique and valuable resource that will be publicly available to all types of end-users and collaborators.
