Stability
1. Provide assurance that the numerical hazard results will be stable for the next years (50 years ?)
2. Unless significant new seismic information, which could occur at any time, calls for a major revision

What Consensus stands for?
• 1) there is not likely to be "consensus" (as the word is commonly understood) among the various experts and
• 2) no single interpretation concerning a complex earth - sciences issue is the "correct" one.

of Experts
Most likely for no consensus there is a consensus!

Area Source Model
• Classical area source zones based on the tectonic findings and their correlation and up-to-day seismicity
• Derived from seismicity patterns
– Ensure the zonation adequately reflect this pattern
• Surface projection of identified active faults (capable of generating earthquakes)
![Page 26: Seismic Hazard Model for the Middle-East Region, Laurentiu Danciu, Swiss Seismological Service, ETH Zurich, Switzerland & GEM Hazard Modeler; Karin Sesetyan & Mine Demircioglu, Kandilli](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060117/5587cfded8b42a897c8b46c0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Model Construction: Phase One
• Country based models
• Phase one:– Overlapping sources at national borders
• [ trying to keep the original information]
– Remove duplicates (the same source defined within countries)
– Eliminate zones too small to be analyzed (spatially smooth seismicity take cares of it)
![Page 27: Seismic Hazard Model for the Middle-East Region, Laurentiu Danciu, Swiss Seismological Service, ETH Zurich, Switzerland & GEM Hazard Modeler; Karin Sesetyan & Mine Demircioglu, Kandilli](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060117/5587cfded8b42a897c8b46c0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Model Construction: Phase Two
– Simplify unnecessary or artificial complex zonation
– Reshaping according to the known main seismogenic features (i.e known faults )
– Local experts feedback
– Reconcile different interpretations
– New sources re-defined after technical discussions among the national representatives/local experts
![Page 28: Seismic Hazard Model for the Middle-East Region, Laurentiu Danciu, Swiss Seismological Service, ETH Zurich, Switzerland & GEM Hazard Modeler; Karin Sesetyan & Mine Demircioglu, Kandilli](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060117/5587cfded8b42a897c8b46c0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Source Characterization
• Main Assumptions:
– Homogeneous, declustered catalogue
– Completeness defined for 18 super zones spanning the entire region
– Maximum likelihood approach (Weichert 1984)
– Truncated Guttenberg-Richter Magnitude Frequency Distribution
• 10a – annual number of events of magnitude greater or equal to zero
• b-value
• Truncated at each assigned maximum magnitude
• For each source three magnitude-frequency-distributions were derived
• A Matlab* toolbox was developed

Active FaultsHow to characterize the seismic potential of the faults?- Convert slip-rates to seismicity
![Page 58: Seismic Hazard Model for the Middle-East Region, Laurentiu Danciu, Swiss Seismological Service, ETH Zurich, Switzerland & GEM Hazard Modeler; Karin Sesetyan & Mine Demircioglu, Kandilli](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060117/5587cfded8b42a897c8b46c0/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Fault Source Model Characterization
Procedure:1. Generate a buffer region of 20km
for each fault
![Page 59: Seismic Hazard Model for the Middle-East Region, Laurentiu Danciu, Swiss Seismological Service, ETH Zurich, Switzerland & GEM Hazard Modeler; Karin Sesetyan & Mine Demircioglu, Kandilli](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060117/5587cfded8b42a897c8b46c0/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Procedure:2. Remove earthquakes within buffer zone
3. Activity on faults computed from slip rates4. Activity on the background – based on the “outside” catalogue

Spatially Smoothed Seismicity
• Based on the – Up-to-date seismicity
– Declustered catalogue
• Main Assumption:– Earthquake's self-similarity: earthquakes occur at near clusters of
previous smaller earthquakes.
– Derived equally spaced [10 x 10 km] cells
– 53300 non-overlapping cells
– the earthquake rates determined for cells are spatially smoothed using a one Gaussian smoothing kernel Frankel 1995]
– Kernel constant size equals to 25km

Summary•Building a regional seismic hazard model is a collective effort•Aim at generating the up-to-date , flexible and scalable database hat will permit continuous update, refinement, and analysis.
•Data will be parameterized and input into the database with a specific format.

Summary•Transparent computational procedure, with all input files available as well as the software packages (Hazard Modeler Toolkit, OpenQuake)•Each dataset has certain degree of completeness, but there is room for improvements;•Specifically,
•The depth information of the events•Maximum magnitude definition•More parameterized faults•Velocities from GPS data
•Revision of all source models•What are the weakness points of each model?
•Road map to the final deliverable
