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.
