Description
The 2018.0.0 seismic hazard model was developed by the Saudi Geological Survey (SGS) (Sokolov et al, 2017). The model covers Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and Qatar. Since the original version, three updates were made to the model by the GEM hazard team, leading to the latest release (v2018.3.0) which includes sources from the latest Middle East v2026.0.0 model.
