OVERVIEW
The assessment of the impact from earthquakes has been historically performed considering each geohazard separately, and undoubtedly with a stronger focus on damage and economic losses caused by ground shaking. The damaging effects of earthquake-triggered hazards such as liquefaction, landslides, and tsunamis have been often neglected or considered in isolation.
This summer school gathers international experts covering the various facets of geohazards risk assessment to provide comprehensive and holistic training. This training will enable participants to perform earthquake scenarios using the OpenQuake-engine, considering the characteristics of recent events including the 2023 M7.8 Turkey and the 2025 M7.7 Myanmar earthquakes.
During this event, it will be possible to obtain an official OpenQuake-engine (Scenarios) certification.

Syllabus
At the end of the school, what will I be able to do?
Participants will learn how to perform hazard and risk analysis using:
open-source tools, in particular, the OpenQuake engine of the GEM Foundation, and
existing open models and datasets covering the District of Lisbon (Portugal), or datasets from their regions.
They will be able to:
understand the different components required to perform hazard and risk analysis,
produce the most important results, and
learn how to present complex risk results to different stakeholders.
Who will teach?
Vitor Silva (University of Aveiro, GEM Foundation)
Romeu Vicente (University of Aveiro)
Fatemah Jalayer (University College London)
Finn Løvholt (Norwegian Geotechnical Institute)
Maria Durante (University of Calabria)
Christopher Brooks (GEM Foundation)
Karim Aljawhari (GEM Foundation)
