News GEM and Beijing Normal University sign an agreement that will establish the International Joint Laboratory on Catastrophic Disaster Simulation and Systemic Risk Response By: ​ ​ Apr 11, 2023 ​ Share Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn ​ On February 23rd, GEM and the School of National Safety and Emergency Management - Beijing Normal University, China signed an agreement that will establish the International Joint Laboratory on Catastrophic Disaster Simulation and Systemic Risk Response. The Joint Laboratory is also supported by the Social Systems for Disaster Risk Governance Laboratory, Disaster Prevention Research Institute - Kyoto University, Japan. The Joint Laboratory aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms, processes and impacts of systemic risk of a catastrophic disaster, establish an expert team focusing on global systemic risk of a catastrophic disaster, and promote the creation of the community of human destiny and common security. The agreement will run for five years (2023-2028). Collaborative research projects will focus on the multi-hazard coupling effect and extreme environment simulation, study the theory and methodology for quantitative assessment of catastrophe systemic risk, and study the safety and resilience of global infrastructure systems in response to extreme disasters. Over the course of five years, the partners will strengthen linkages through staff exchange, mutual visits, and student exchange and training. “GEM is thankful for the opportunity to collaborate with our partners - Beijing Normal University and Kyoto University on the International Joint Laboratory. This is an important research direction and one that can only move forward significantly through such collaborations.” – John Schneider, GEM Secretary General. “In recent years we have made rapid progress in systemic risk formation mechanism and its response, as well as emergency linkage and recovery. We believe that our partnership with GEM to establish the Joint Laboratory will help open the door to cooperate with high-level international universities and institutes working in the catastrophic disaster simulation and systemic risk response.” - Wang Ming, Dean of the School of National Safety and Emergency Management University, Beijing Normal University.

News COMET-GEM Seismic Hazard Workshop and OpenQuake Training By: ​ ​ Sep 15, 2022 ​ Share Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn ​ From June 29th to July 1st, the Centre for the Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tectonics (COMET) co-hosted a workshop with GEM at the Earth Sciences Department, University of Oxford, UK. The event brought together 25 participants from 12 institutes with diverse research interests, including: active tectonics, paleoseismology, precariously balanced rocks, strain mapping, ground motion modelling, physics-based fault modelling, observational seismology, induced seismicity, and volcanology. The workshop theme was to find the intersection between seismic hazard analysis and the research topics of interest to COMET scientists, with the goals of learning how their research results are currently used by seismic hazard modellers, and imagining ways to increase their utility. The workshop aimed to achieve these goals with a balance of PSHA lectures, OpenQuake Engine training, interactive exercises, discussion, and participant presentations. On the first day, Kendra Johnson, GEM Hazard Scientist, gave an introduction to probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) and walked the participants through the hazard component of the OpenQuake Engine. On the second day, Richard Styron, GEM Active Faults Specialist, discussed bridging the gaps between research and seismic hazard models, delving into the issues and challenges in transitioning from being a hazard researcher to a hazard modeller. Marco Pagani, GEM Hazard Coordinator joined the discussion and provided his insights on the topic. On the third day, the participants explored how the seismic source parameterization and assumptions made in the first steps of PSHA impact hazard calculation results. The workshop concluded with a lecture by Manuela Villani, GEM Senior Hazard Scientist, on incorporating epistemic uncertainties into PSHA, and brief research presentations by a few participants. The workshop was organised as part of a collaborative project between the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) - COMET and GEM with funding support from NERC. The project is working to combine field data, InSAR, global navigation satellite system (GNSS), remote-sensing and block modelling to develop new seismic hazard models. NERC is the leading funder of UK environmental science and a GEM public sponsor. No images found. GALLERY 1/2 ​ VIDEO RELATED CONTENTS

Project Name Products Active Faults Database A repository with global homogenised characteristics of active faults Share Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn Description The GEM Foundation's Global Active Faults is building a comprehensive, global dataset of active fault traces of seismogenic concern. This repository comprises GIS files of fault traces and small amount of relevant attributes or metadata (fault geometry, kinematics, slip rate, etc.) useful for seismic hazard modeling and other tectonic applications. The dataset is being assembled primarily as a part of GEM's global Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Modeling efforts, although we hope that the data find wide use in research, education and general interest among many users. The dataset currently covers most of the deforming continental regions on Earth with the exceptions of the Malay Archipelago, Madagascar, Canada, and a few other regions.

News GEM Hazard Modeling Tools Workshop By: ​ ​ Jul 2, 2018 ​ Share Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn ​ The workshop, held at GEM’s Headquarters in Pavia, Italy from March 15-17, 2017 gathered more than 20 experts and scientists from different parts of the world – Europe, Nepal, China, Thailand and Japan – representing public and private sectors. Speaking on behalf of the Chinese Earthquake Administration participants, Mengtan Gao, Deputy Director of the Institute of Geophysics, underscores the importance of the workshop saying, “This workshop is important for China Earthquake Administration because we learned new techniques and methodologies in seismic hazard assessment, particularly those being used here in Europe”. He adds further, “Our young seismologists can take these learnings back to China and apply them to the next generation of seismic hazard maps that China plans to develop next year”. Mengtan Gao (R) has served the China Earthquake Administration for 36 years. He hopes to build the capacity of his young colleagues in seismic assessment through GEM’s OpenQuake engine. While other participants are just beginning to understand and appreciate OpenQuake Engine, the General Insurance Rating Organization of Japan (GIROJ) has started translating the users’ manual into Japanese. Mr. Suguru of GIROJ says, “GEM’s OpenQuake engine is the global standard tool for seismic hazard and risk analyses. We are translating the manual so more of our partners and colleagues can use the engine.” Mr. Suguru has a background in applied mathematics and is leading the translation of GEM’s OpenQuake engine manual into Japanese in GIROJ. Capacity development is one of the major activities of GEM to help build national and local technical capacities in hazard and risk assessment around the world. Being at the cusp of completing Work Programme 2, GEM is gearing up to implement a training program on how to use various tools freely available at OpenQuake platform for its various partners and stakeholders at national and regional levels. Participants from NSET Nepal discuss with John Schneider, GEM Secretary General, plans to re-echo what they have learned from the workshop at national level. Sujan Raj and Kapil believe that translating the OpenQuake manual would help their colleagues in adapting the tool for analyzing seismic hazard and risk data of Nepal.Maria del Puy of ZAMG, “We are a small organization and just starting up. We participated in this workshop because of OpenQuake engine’s open and transparent development approach. This is what attracted us to use and try it. So far this workshop has given us a good idea of what the engine can do.” No images found. GALLERY 1/0 ​ VIDEO RELATED CONTENTS
