## Dataset Structure

The CMEZ‑SPHighResCatalog dataset is organized into several folders and key files:

### Folders
- `basement/`: Basement depth.
- `paper/`: Supplementary figures and materials for the associated SRL paper.
- `seismicity/`: Earthquake event data and catalogs.
- `stations/`: Seismic station metadata and coordinates.
- `terrain/`: Topographic or elevation data for the region.
- `ts_tp/`: Time‑series and S‑P pick data used for depth relocation.
- `vp/`: P‑wave velocity model data.
- `vpvs/`: Vp/Vs ratio files for velocity analysis.
- `qgis_project`: A ready‑to‑use QGIS project with layers for visualization.

### Key Files
- `SPHighResCatalog.csv`: S-P High‑resolution earthquake catalog with relocated hypocenters.
