Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2022 The earthquake hazard and seismic risk in Iceland are highest in the Southwest due to the transform faulting in the South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ) and Reykjanes Peninsula Oblique Rift (RPOR) being in close proximity to a large part of the population ...

Italian Journal of Geosciences, 2022 This study takes advantage of the available information for an example, well-known, site in Greece (TST site at Euroseistest) to illustrate the epistemic variability in probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) estimates.

A sanity check for earthquake recurrence models used in PSHA of slowly deforming regions: the case of SW Iberia [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA), despite its deep criticism, is still the most common tool used to decide on the acceptable seismic risk and corresponding mitigation measures.

Test of a PSHA Map of China with Fortification Benefit Evaluation
Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2022 A path for testing a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) map is presented in this paper via the evaluation of fortification benefit with two indices, economic benefit and safety benefit.

Assessing infrequent large earthquakes using geomorphology and geodesy in the Malawi Rift [PDF]
, 2015 In regions with large, mature fault systems, a characteristic earthquake model may be more appropriate for modelling earthquake occurrence than extrapolating from a short history of small, instrumentally observed earthquakes using the Gutenberg–Richter ...

Application of Single-Station Sigma and Site-Response Characterization in a Probabilistic Seismic-Hazard Analysis for a New Nuclear Site [PDF]
, 2014 Aleatory variability in ground-motion prediction, represented by the standard deviation (sigma) of a ground-motion prediction equation, exerts a very strong influence on the results of probabilistic seismic-hazard analysis (PSHA).

Interpreting intraplate tectonics for seismic hazard : a UK historical perspective [PDF]
, 2012 It is notoriously difficult to construct seismic source models for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in intraplate areas on the basis of geological information, and many practitioners have given up the task in favour of purely seismicity-based ...

Integrating Long and Short‐Term Time Dependencies in Simulation‐Based Seismic Hazard Assessments
Earth and Space Science, 2022 Conventional probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) only considers mainshock events and uses a time‐independent earthquake rupture forecast to describe the occurrence of mainshocks. This approach neglects the long‐term time‐dependency of mainshocks

PSHA after a strong earthquake: hints for the recovery [PDF]
Annals of Geophysics, 2016 <p>We perform aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (APSHA) of the ongoing aftershock sequence following the Amatrice August 24th, 2016 Central Italy earthquake. APSHA is a time-dependent PSHA calculation where earthquake occurrence rates decrease after the occurrence of a mainshock following an Omori-type decay.
