First announcement

This is a first annoucement of a 3-day onsite course on Seismic Hazard Analysis organized by the University of Helsinki on 17-19 April 2023.

The course focuses onprobabilistic seismic hazard analysis targeted to MSc students, PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and researchers and professionals in Nordic countries. The course serves well as an introduction to the topic.

Lectures and course units are given and hosted by four experts:

 

The course will review probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) with emphasis on the Fennoscandian peninsula. The new European Seismic Hazard Map (ESHM20) is a Pan-European product and has inspired many related discussions among Nordic seismologists. However, it is not meant to replace national and/or regional efforts. It also poses some problems, such as a fairly high magnitude threshold, which means that the hazard calculation was based on a small number of earthquakes. Recent national projects have also investigated PSHA locally. Thus, there are many reasons behind the plan that a course focusing on low-seismicity regions is warranted.

The course is organized as part of  Nordic EPOS – a FAIR Nordic EPOS Data Hub -project (NordForsk decision number 97318).
