A collection of earthquake footprints and consequences from past events Products Global Earthquake Impact Database (GEID) A collection of earthquake footprints and consequences from past events Share Facebook LinkedIn Description As a part of the 2026 release of the Global Earthquake Risk Model, the GEM Foundation has compiled a collection of earthquake footprints and consequences from past events, with the hope that the data find wide use in research, education and general interest among many users. Each entry in the database includes the rupture source file, available information from recording stations and ground-motion models, for use in the OpenQuake Engine. Also, a description of the event and estimates of the impact (in terms of multiple metrics) are reported for each event.

OpenQuake engine input model to perform hazard calculations for Western Africa Products Western Africa Hazard OpenQuake engine input model to perform hazard calculations for Western Africa Share Facebook LinkedIn Description The Western Africa model (v2018.0.0) was developed internally by GEM. The model encompasses the whole Atlantic side of the Africa continent. An ad-hoc homogenised earthquake catalogue was developed based on globally available information, which was used as primary base for seismic occurrence analysis and the subsequent development of the source zonation model. The analysis was particularly challenging in the region, due to the severe incompleteness of calibration data, and the virtually nonexistent neotectonic information. Since the original version, an update was made to the model by the GEM hazard team, leading to the latest release (v2018.1.1). How to cite this work Poggi, V. (2023).

A global tectonic block model providing internally consistent fault slip rates derived from joint inversion of geodetic and geologic data, developed to support probabilistic seismic hazard assessment. Products Global Block Model A global tectonic block model providing internally consistent fault slip rates derived from joint inversion of geodetic and geologic data, developed to support probabilistic seismic hazard assessment. Share Facebook LinkedIn Description The GEM Global Block Model is a research dataset that contains a comprehensive, globally complete set of >7000 active faults, combined with a subdivision of the entire Earth surface into ~2000 tectonic plates or microplates (blocks), and a set of three-dimensional meshes of subduction interfaces. The faults are boundaries between blocks, and the slip rates of the faults (proportional to the seismic activity of the faults) are determined by the relative motion of the blocks on either side of the faults. The fault geometries are from a near-complete remapping of Earth’s deforming regions, based in part on existing mapping (such as the previous version of the GEM Global Active Faults Database or GEM GAF-DB), as well as interpretations of high-resolution topography, seismicity and geodetic data, to maximize completeness, accuracy, and mapping style specifically for seismic hazard assessment. The block motions are determined through joint inversion of geodetic velocity data — primarily GNSS observations supplemented by InSAR-derived velocity fields from the COMET LiCSAR processing system — and geologic fault slip rates spanning decadal to Quaternary timescales. The primary output is the set of active faults with complete, internally-consistent slip rates and formal uncertainties, and subduction interfaces with spatially-variable coupling estimated simultaneously with the slip rates. These fault data may be easily used to build and evaluate seismic source models using the OpenQuake software suite. The GEM Global Block Model is a work in progress, and both block geometries and derived fault parameters are subject to revision as new geodetic and geologic data are incorporated.

A global homogenised catalogue of earthquake events from 1900 to 2024 Products Global homogenised earthquake catalogue A global homogenised catalogue of earthquake events from 1900 to 2024 Share Facebook LinkedIn Description The 2026 GEM Global Homogenised Earthquake Catalogue contains ~495 000 events between 1900 and 2024. The catalogue combines events above M4 from three global datasets: ISC-GEM (https://www.isc.ac.uk/iscgem/, currently v11.0), the Global Centroid-Moment-Tensor (https://www.globalcmt.org/) and comcat (https://earthquake.usgs.gov/data/comcat/) catalogues. To provide a single consistent magnitude type for PSHA, all events are homogenised to moment magnitude (Mw). Magnitude uncertainties from the original catalogues are propagated including uncertainties associated with any magnitude conversions. Where available, focal mechanism data, depth, magnitude and location uncertainties are retained. Original magnitude types and values from contributing catalogues are also included to help track event origins consistently. How to cite this work Bayliss, K. and Pagani M. (2026).

Country model to assess potential financial losses to commercial, industrial and residential buildings due to earthquakes Products China Financial Loss Model Country model to assess potential financial losses to commercial, industrial and residential buildings due to earthquakes Share Facebook LinkedIn Description The China financial loss model has been developed by GEM using public sources of information, such as past seismicity, and geodetic and geologic data for the hazard component, combined with exposure and vulnerability data. The hazard component incorporates both faults and area sources. Earthquake occurrence rates on active faults are based on a new tectonic block model derived from the joint inversion of geodetic and geologic data. The model provides estimates of financial risk to residential, commercial and industrial buildings using GEM’s vulnerability models appropriate to Chinese construction practice. GEM has also developed an exposure model that can be used to estimate total losses to the building stock in addition to portfolio losses. Further technical information can be found in the documentation. GEM extensively collaborated with its private and public partners to test and validate the model against industry standards in order to produce a new model that represents GEM’s view of risk. The model is available in Oasis LMF format. How to cite this work N.A.
