Linking faults to seismic hazard assessment in Europe
Linking faults to seismic hazard assessment in Europe
Editor(s): B. Pace, F. Visini, O. Scotti, and L. Peruzza
Objectives: present research results and discuss the challenges of linking field geologists, fault modellers, earthquake-rupture simulators, data modellers, and seismic hazard practitioners.
Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to
  • fault-based SHA models;
  • SHA-fault practitioners’ experiences in implementing and complementing by different disciplines (e.g. paleo/speleo/archeo/historical/instrumental seismology; geodesy; etc.);
  • fault uncertainties treatment (e.g. fault characterization in the field, implementation in SHA codes, and the resulting variability in expected ground motion);
  • testing approaches to ensure that the wealth of data available today is used following state-of-the-art methods, rigorous uncertainty handling, and appropriate input model parameterization.
