Executive Summary
The 2020 European Seismic Hazard Model (ESHM20) provides an update of the earthquake hazard
assessment of the Euro-Mediterranean region. ESHM20 has received funding from the European Union's
Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No.s 730900 of the SERAProject
(www.sera-eu.org)
The ESHM20 follows the same principles as the ESHM13, with state-of-the art procedures
homogeneously applied for the entire pan-European region, without the country-borders issues. The
model was built upon recently compiled datasets (i.e. earthquake catalogues, active faults, ground
shaking recordings), information (tectonic and geological) and models (seismogenic sources, ground
shaking). A fully probabilistic framework was adopted in the hazard model implementation and all
datasets and inputs are fully cross-border harmonized.
The newly developed seismogenic source model encompass fully harmonized and cross borders
seismogenic sources following the recent national earthquake hazard models. The inherent
uncertainties in characterizing the earthquake rupture forecast are handled by a complex logic tree,
consisting of two main models (branches): an area source-based model and a hybrid fault-smoothed
seismicity model. The ground motion characteristic model is built upon the most complete ground
shaking recordings in Europe and aims at capturing the effects of source and attenuation path of the
expected ground shaking at a site.
The regional variability of the ground shaking as constrain by observations is captured by a novel
approach of spatial clustering and the overall uncertainties are handled in a backbone logic tree. The
master logic tree combines the earthquake rate forecast with the backbone ground motion models into
a computational model for assessing the earthquake ground shaking at across the entire Euro-
Mediterranean region. Full sets of hazard results (i.e. hazard curves and maps, uniform hazard spectra)
for various combinations of return periods and descriptive statistics (mean, median and quantiles) are
available.
The ESHM20 development process involved several regional workshops where the scientists and experts
were consulted and their feedback was acknowledged and considered on the model outcome. Finally,
ESHM20 provides the basis to derive informative hazard maps for two key engineering parameters
defining the anchoring points of the seismic design spectra for the next version of the European Seismic
Design Code (CEN-EC8).
The European Facilities for Earthquake Hazard and Risk (EFEHR) will maintain and further develop this
model in collaboration with the GEM Foundation and the European Plate Observing System (EPOS).
