Abstract

This edition of the Periodic Atlas of the Metroscape focuses on hazard analysis, and looks at the relative danger of earthquake, flood, landslide, debris flow, lava flow, and radon throughout the Portland area. The maps are printed in 3D format, and the print edition of the Metroscape included special glasses that, when worn, give the maps a 3D appearance.
