  • Philippine Hazard | Global EarthQuake Model Foundation

    Project Name Products Philippine Hazard OpenQuake engine input model to perform hazard calculations for the Philippines Share Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn Description The initial version (v2018.0.0) of the seismic hazard model for the Philippines was developed jointly by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) and the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) in the OpenQuake engine format. Since the original version, several updates were made to the model by the GEM hazard team, leading to the latest release (v2018.2.0), which was used in the computation of the 2023 Global Earthquake Hazard and Risk Maps. Among other important improvements, this model extends the minimum magnitude of events for crustal distributed seismicity and updates the GMPEs used for more recent ones.

  • Global Vulnerability Model | Global EarthQuake Model Foundation

    Project Name Products Global Vulnerability Model Sets of functions to assess the consequences of earthquakes on the built environment of the world Share Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn Description The Global Vulnerability Model (v2023.1) consists of a set of functions that estimate the consequences of earthquakes of a given intensity to different building typologies. This model includes curves to assess economic losses, divided into structural, non-structural and content losses, as well as estimates of fatalities. The database is separated by region-country/territory and considers functions for over 3500 building typologies identified in the Global Exposure Model developed, curated and maintained by the GEM Foundation. The fragility functions are derived analytically, using non-linear time-history analyses on equivalent single-degree-of-freedom oscillators and a large set of ground motion records representing several tectonic environments. The entire database is available for direct download under a CC BY-NC-SA license for risk modelers, analysts and researchers to perform seismic risk assessment on their portfolios.

  • Indonesia Hazard | Global EarthQuake Model Foundation

    Project Name Products Indonesia Hazard OpenQuake engine input model to perform hazard calculations for Indonesia Share Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn Description The initial version (v2017.0.0) of the seismic hazard model for Indonesia was developed by the Team for Updating Seismic Hazard Maps of Indonesia of the National Center for Earthquake Studies, Indonesia. (Irsyam et al., 2017). The model builds on the experience collected throughout the last 15 years and on international collaborations notably with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and Geoscience Australia. The model was originally produced partly using the NSHMP software of the USGS and partly in the OpenQuake (OQ) engine. To achieve an entirely OQ implementation, part of the model has been translated from its original format into OQ. Since the original version, an update was made to the model by the GEM hazard team, leading to the latest release (v2017.1.0), which was used in the computation of the 2023 Global Earthquake Hazard and Risk Maps. This model extends the minimum magnitude of events for crustal distributed seismicity and updates the GMPEs used for more recent ones. How to cite this work Irsyam, M., Natawijaya D.

  • Northeast Asia Hazard | Global EarthQuake Model Foundation

    Project Name Products Northeast Asia Hazard OpenQuake engine input model to perform hazard calculations for Northeast Asia Share Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn Description The Northeast Asia (NEA) model was developed internally by GEM. The active shallow part of the model is based on the combination of distributed sources and active faults, the latter obtained from the Global Active Fault Database of GEM. As for the case of Northern Africa, we have applied rate redistribution to better represent the spatial variability of seismicity. The deeper portion of the Kamchatka subduction zone was modelled as a combination of complex faults (the subduction interface) and finite ruptures (the slab zone) using the Subduction Toolkit developed by GEM. Border harmonisation of the present model with neighbouring hazard models, particularly with China and EMCA, posed a challenge in developing this model. How to cite this work N.A.

  • Global Seismic Hazard Map | Global EarthQuake Model Foundation

    Project Name Products Global Seismic Hazard Map Openly accessible global datasets and plots for peak ground acceleration with a return period of 475 years on rock Share Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn Description The Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Global Seismic Hazard Map (version 2023.1) depicts the geographic distribution of the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, computed for reference rock conditions (shear wave velocity, Vs30, of 760-800 m/s). The map was created by collating maps computed using national and regional probabilistic seismic hazard models developed by various institutions and projects, in collaboration with GEM Foundation scientists. This version represents an update from the previous release from 2018 and features improvements in most regions of the world, as well as a higher spatial definition (approx. 2.5X) compared to the previous version. For the first time, it is now openly available in raster format as a direct download under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license. An interactive online viewer (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) is available, as well as a PDF poster and a high-resolution PNG (CC BY-SA 4.0) through the links on this page. A set of comprehensive maps is also available that features up to 20 layers with global coverage, considering PGA and spectral acceleration (SA) for four periods of vibration (0.2s, 0.3s, 0.6s and 1.0s), calculated for reference rock and spatially variable soil conditions, for 2% and 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years.
