Abstract
The recent completion of a fundamental revision of the New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model (New Zealand NSHM) provided the catalyst for a joint BSSA Special Issue and SRL Focus Section on seismic hazard models worldwide. The approaches to NSHMs in different locations are varied and driven by different expertise, different philosophies, different tectonic environments, and different needs of the local communities. Despite the large number of countries facing risks from earthquakes, the community of researchers working on NSHMs is small, and it is to our benefit as a community to learn from each other and to understand approaches other...
期刊介绍:
The Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, commonly referred to as BSSA, (ISSN 0037-1106) is the premier journal of advanced research in earthquake seismology and related disciplines. It first appeared in 1911 and became a bimonthly in 1963. Each issue is composed of scientific papers on the various aspects of seismology, including investigation of specific earthquakes, theoretical and observational studies of seismic waves, inverse methods for determining the structure of the Earth or the dynamics of the earthquake source, seismometry, earthquake hazard and risk estimation, seismotectonics, and earthquake engineering. Special issues focus on important earthquakes or rapidly changing topics in seismology. BSSA is published by the Seismological Society of America.
