Project Name

Europe Hazard

OpenQuake engine input model to perform hazard calculations for Europe

Description

The Global Hazard Mosaic uses the 2020 European Seismic Hazard Model (ESHM20) to cover the Euro-Mediterranean region. The ESHM20 model uses the same principles as the Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe (SHARE) Project model (Woessner et al., 2015), with state-of-the-art procedures homogeneously applied to the pan-European region. A fully probabilistic framework was adopted in the hazard model implementation, using input datasets that are harmonized across national borders. ESHM20 was developed by the Seismology and Earthquake Engineering Research Infrastructure Alliance for Europe (SERA) and funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. For more details, refer to http://www.sera eu.org/en/home/ and http://www.hazard.efehr.org/en/home/ The model was originally implemented in the OpenQuake engine. In addition to the conterminous pan-European region, this model was used to compute hazard for the Kaliningrad Region of Russia, Iceland, and the Canary Islands. Although ESHM20 covers Turkey, the Global Hazard Mosaic currently uses the EMME model.
