Taiwan Hazard

OpenQuake engine input model to perform hazard calculations for Taiwan

Description

Coverage of Taiwan is with the 2020 hazard model developed within the Taiwan Earthquake Model (TEM) initiative (Chan et al., 2020). The model was originally implemented for the OpenQuake (OQ) engine

The original version (v2015.0.0) was used for the initial release of the 2018 Global Earthquake and Hazard and Risk Maps. Since then, an updated model (v2020.0.1) was developed in collaboration between GEM and TEM, which was used in the computation of the 2023 release of the updated Global Maps. This latest version is now officially released to the public under a Creative Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 license
