The Icelandic strong-motion dataset is relatively small and the largest recorded earthquake
magnitude is M w 6.5, whereas events of around M w 7.0 are known to have occurred in the …

A fundamental modeling assumption in engineering seismology is that seismic ground
motion is affected by source, propagation path and site effects. Contrary to the first two …

Iceland is seismically the most active region in northern Europe. Large single earthquakes
(~ M_ w M w 7) and seismic sequences of moderate-to-strong earthquakes (~ M_ w M w 6 …

The earthquake hazard and seismic risk in Iceland are highest in the Southwest due to the
transform faulting in the South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ) and Reykjanes Peninsula …

Low‐seismicity regions such as the United Kingdom (UK) pose a challenge for seismic
hazard analysis in view of the limited amount of locally recorded data available. In particular …

Ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for geometric-mean pseudo-spectral
acceleration amplitudes from New Zealand (NZ) earthquakes are developed. A database of …

We present a strategy for the region‐specific assessment, adjustment, and weighting of
ground‐motion prediction models, with application to the 2015 Swiss national seismic …

Knowledge of the characteristics of earthquake ground motion is fundamental for
earthquake hazard assessments. Over small distances, relative to the source–site distance …

We develop a testing methodology for the New Zealand national probabilistic seismic
hazard (PSH) model that builds on the groundwork of previous studies. Our fundamental …

Regions of low seismicity present a particular challenge for probabilistic seismic hazard
analysis when identifying suitable ground motion models (GMMs) and quantifying their …
