The 2020 European Seismic Hazard Model (ESHM20) covers the Euro-Mediterranean region in GEM's global hazard mosaic. 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 for 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. Athough ESHM20 covers Turkey, a separate model has been developed for Turkey by the GEM hazard team.
