Validation of seismic hazard curves using a calibrated 14 ka lacustrine record in the Eastern Alps, Austria [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Seismic hazard maps are crucial for earthquake mitigation and mostly rely on probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA). However, the practise and value of PSHA are under debate because objective testing procedures for seismic hazard maps are scarce ...

The GSHAP Global Seismic Hazard Map [PDF]
Annals of Geophysics, 1999 The Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP), a demonstration project of the UN/International Decade of Natural Disaster Reduction, was conducted in the 1992-1998 period with the goal of improving global standards in seismic hazard assessment ...

Deterministic seismic hazard in Egypt [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2001 The regional seismic hazard in Egypt is assessed using a deterministic approach based on the computation of synthetic seismograms at a set of gridpoints located at distances of 0.2 from each other. The main input for this computation are earthquake sources and structural models.

Criteria-based visualization design for hazard maps [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Probabilistic seismic hazard estimates are a key ingredient of earthquake risk mitigation strategies and are often communicated through seismic hazard maps.

Variable-resolution building exposure modelling for earthquake and tsunami scenario-based risk assessment: an application case in Lima, Peru [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 We propose the use of variable resolution boundaries based on central Voronoi tessellations (CVTs) to spatially aggregate building exposure models for risk assessment to various natural hazards.

Assessment of seismic hazards in Yemen [PDF]
Heliyon, 2021 The seismic hazard analyses for Yemen have attracted the attention of researchers during the last two decades. However, the studies are limited and mainly use deterministic or approximate conventional probabilistic approaches. The conclusions drawn from these studies do not fit with current seismic design codes (International Building Code).

Scenario-based multi-risk assessment from existing single-hazard vulnerability models. An application to consecutive earthquakes and tsunamis in Lima, Peru [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Multi-hazard risk assessments for building portfolios exposed to earthquake shaking followed by a tsunami are usually based on empirical vulnerability models calibrated on post-event surveys of damaged buildings.

Geodynamics, seismicity, and seismic hazards of the Caucasus [PDF]
Earth-Science Reviews, 2020 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 earthquakes caused significant losses of lives and livelihood. In this article, we survey geology and geodynamics of the Caucasus and its surroundings; magmatism and heat ...
