European Fault-Source Model 2020 (EFSM20): online data on fault geometry and activity parameters | EFSM20

Listed in e-cienciaDatos

The European Fault-Source Model 2020 (EFSM20) was initially compiled in the framework of the EU

Description

Project

SERA, Work Package 25, JRA3. EFSM20 includes only faults deemed capable of generating earthquakes of magnitude equal to or larger than 5.5 and aims at ensuring a harmonized input for use in ground-shaking hazard assessment in the Euro-Mediterranean area, namely the European Seismic Hazard Model 2020 (ESHM20). The EFSM20 database is hosted, maintained, and distributed by INGV through the EDSF installation (seismofaults.eu/) operated under the auspices of the EPOS-ERIC, TCS EPOS-Seismology, EFEHR Consortium, and the EPOS-MIUR Joint Research Unit. | The compilation of this dataset relies heavily on the scientific literature on active faults, seismotectonics, paleoseismology, tectonic geomorphology, and all other disciplines related to active tectonics.

Studies of historical or recent earthquake ruptures are key to understanding the seismogenic behavior of active faults. Original and legacy data, not necessarily published in journal articles, also form the knowledge base to characterize seismogenic faults. Among these, seismic reflection profiles, well logs, data collected in field reconnaissances, dating of sedimentary units, and geological data in the broadest sense also play a critical role.

Several parameters associated with the seismogenic faults are derived by numerical modeling (e.g., slip rate derived from geologic restoration) or analytical/empirical relations (e.g., earthquake magnitude derived from fault scaling relations).
