OVERVIEW
In this webinar, we will explore the key features of the Global Seismic Hazard Mosaic and the PAC model, with a special focus on the ocean models in the Southwest Pacific. We’ll present GEM’s approach to building PSHA models that span vast regions, even in data-scarce areas. Additionally, we will highlight seismic hazard trends across the region, including insights for key population centers.
