Project 1619R: GEMAP (Geological Earthquake Mapping of recent, historical and paleoseismic events: Quaternary Geology for Seismic Hazard Analyses)
Details
The main objective of the project will be the implementation of new methodologies for seismic
hazard mapping that combines Earthquake Environmental Effects (EEEs) with fault specific
seismic hazard assessment. Instead of the traditional seismic hazard maps, which are based on
the seismicity records’ spatial distribution of strong ground motions in terms of PGA or PGV,
the new method takes into account EEEs, as described in the ESI-2007 scale. The modelled
spatial distribution of EEEs in terms of the ESI-2007 scale follows the previous INQUA 0811
Project (A Global Catalogue and Mapping of Earthquake Environmental Effects), and the
corresponding EEE Metrics Project (1229P - Parametrization Of Earthquake Environmental
Effects: Relationships between source parameters and ESI-2007 Intensity for Modern, Historic,
Ancient and Paleo Earthquakes).
