Being a part of ongoing continental collision between the Arabian and Eurasian plates, the
Caucasus region is a remarkable site of moderate to strong seismicity, where devastating …

Abstract The 2013 European Seismic Hazard Model (ESHM13) results from a community-
based probabilistic seismic hazard assessment supported by the EU-FP7 project “Seismic …

Abstract The Earthquake Model of Middle East (EMME) Project aimed to develop regional
scale seismic hazard and risk models uniformly throughout a region extending from the …

Since 2015, the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation and its partners have been

This paper describes the probabilistic assessment of seismic hazard (PSHA) of Italy in view
of the building codes from 2003 to 2009. A code was issued in 2003 as a Prime Minister …

The fundamental objective of earthquake engineering is to protect lives and livelihoods
through the reduction of seismic risk. Directly or indirectly, this generally requires …

Natural hazard risk assessment generally focuses on a single hazard type, such as
earthquakes, landslides, or floods. This emphasis tends to consider physical processes in …

In this paper we present a global model (GSRM-1) of both horizontal velocities on the Earth's
surface and horizontal strain rates for almost all deforming plate boundary zones. A model …
