Project 1620R: SURFACE (SURface FAulting Catalogue – Earthquakes)

Details

During the Paris meeting in october 2015 (see report), the SURE group agreed on a project to build a worldwide and unified database of earthquake surface ruptures. To try to account for relevant parameters that influence the nature, amount and complexity of this earthquake effects, a database structure (SURE) was agreed and the group decided to start the effort by compiling the existing datasets that usually contain basic information on surface displacement. In the future, the datasets of earthquake cases will contain information on other parameters like surface geology for instance.

Leaders: Franck Audemard (Venezuela); Stéphane Baize (France); Francesca Cinti (Italy); Carlos  Costa (Argentina); James McCalpin (USA); Alessandro Michetti (Italy); Koji Okumara (Japan), Oona  Scotti (France).
