hasSummary
  • The main input data of the earthquake model for the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of Germany, version 2016, are provided in form of: (1) the geometry of five areal source zone models and one composite fault model for the Lower Rhine graben (ESRI shape files) and (2) the seismicity rates of all sources given as Mmax-depending Gutenberg-Richter parameters a and b with their uncertainties (EXCEL and csv files).The assignment of individual sources to the superzone models of Mmax, b-value, depth, tectonic regime and smoothing kernel arer described in the accompanying Scientific Technical Report Data (Grünthal et al. 2017).
