We are hosting a seismic hazard and OpenQuake workshop as part of a NERC funded collaborative project between COMET (The Centre for the Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tectonics) and GEM (The Global Earthquake Model).  The workshop aim is to help participants identify how their work is or can be used in PSHA/seismic hazard, and how their contributions will affect the hazard outputs. We hope participants will leave with a practical understanding of the oft-written sentence “this research will help improve seismic hazard…”.
