Project Name

Arabia Hazard

OpenQuake engine input model to perform hazard calculations for the Arabian Peninsula

Description

The 2018.2.0 seismic hazard model of the Arabian Peninsula (ARB) was developed by the Saudi Geological Survey (SGS). The model covers Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and Qatar, but does not include sources that originate in the Zagros region of western Iran.

 

The model has been translated into the OpenQuake (OQ) engine format by GEM. Since the original version (2018.0.0), several significant updates have been made to the model by the GEM hazard team, leading to the latest release (v2018.2.0), which was used in the computation of the 2023 Global Earthquake Hazard and Risk Maps. Differences in the versions can be consulted in the model documentation.
