[CIG-ALL] CIG Webinar: Thursday, November 14 @2p PT - The Release of the GEM Global Active Faults Database and Global Seismic Hazard Map, Richard Styron (GEM Foundation)

[John Naliboff]

Dear Colleagues,

The first CIG webinar of 2019 will be held next Thursday, November 14 from 2-3 PM Pacific Time.

The webinar will be presented by Dr. Richard Styron (GEM Foundation and Earth Analysis, LCC) on “The Release of the GEM Global Active Faults Database and Global Seismic Hazard Map”:

	In late 2018, the Global Earthquake Model Foundation (GEM) released the initial version of several major products relating to seismic hazard and risk, including the Global Seismic Hazard Map, the Global Seismic Risk Map, and the Global Active Faults Database. Though these are intended primarily to support GEM's mission to reduce earthquake risk, they may be of use or interest to geodynamics researchers and the broader Earth science community. The GEM Global Active Faults Database (github.com/GEMScienceTools/gem-global-active-faults) is a dynamic, evolving compilation of active faults worldwide, currently containing ~14,000 fault traces. Associated metadata describe the geometry, kinematics, slip rates and other parameters relevant to seismic hazard analysis. Metadata completeness varies regionally, with ~75% of faults having some slip rate information. The GEM Global Seismic Hazard Map (globalquakemodel.org/gem) displays the geographic distribution of Peak Ground Acceleration with a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years, and is derived from a mosaic of national or regional seismic hazard models created by a variety of organizations including the GEM Secretariat. Additional topics of collaboration or mutual beneficial research between the geodynamics and seismic hazard communities will be discussed.

As this webinar may be of interest to the broader Earth Sciences community, we encourage forwarding this announcement on to additional mailing lists or colleagues that may not normally receive CIG announcements.
We look forward to your attendance and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!
Sincerely,
John Naliboff
