Working Together for Better Earthquake and Tsunami Hazard Assessment


The scientific fields of cooperation correspond to different profiles of the members constituting NAGET and are:

General fields:

•    Historical and modern seismology
•    Active tectonics and seismotectonics
•    Engineering seismology
•    Geodynamics
•    Space geodesy
•    Seismic zoning and microzoning in megacities and urban areas
•    Regional seismic and tsunami hazard assessment
•    Identification of the tsunamigenic zones along the North Africa coast
•    Seismic vulnerability
•    Seismic risk.

Specific fields of interest:

•    Compilation of a unified earthquake catalogue
•    Historical earthquake database
•    Regional active faults and seismic sources database
•    Regional tomography
•    Stress transfer
•    Interferometry
•    Regional deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard assessment
•    Site effects
•    Seismic vulnerability and pathologies of historical buildings
•    Tsunami physics and paleo-tsunami studies
•    Tsunami and zones prone to flooding
•   The tsunami vulnerability assessment on structures and related effects
•   The long term probabilistic approach about expected tsunami effects on the population and infrastructures.
