Shakemap-Eu: A European Seismological Service and a Laboratory for Collaborative Research and Capacity Building
Description:
We present ShakeMap-EU, an initiative initially proposed in 2018 to: (i) provide an integrated archive of ShakeMaps at the European level built on EPOS Seismology (www.epos-eu.org/tcs/seismology) services & data products and modern community software; (ii) serve as a backup to authoritative ShakeMap implementations; (iii) deliver ShakeMaps for Euro-Mediterranean regions where no local capability is yet available. ShakeMap-EU products are accessible since mid-2020 at the web portal shakemapeu.ingv.it. Jointly governed by the institutions participating in the initiative, ShakeMap-EU is founded on voluntary institutional contributions and EC-funded projects. ShakeMap-EU has become a reliable European seismological service that can easily and consistently integrate authoritative models and workflows. The system is based on: (a) the latest version of ShakeMap® (usgs.github.io/shakemap); (b) the earthquake information delivered by the EMSC (www.emsc-csem.org); (c) the earthquake shaking data distributed by ORFEUS (orfeus-eu.org/data/strong); (d) the ground motion models adopted within EFEHR (www.efehr.org) for mapping seismic hazard across Europe; (d) the official ShakeMap configurations of some of the most hazardous countries in Europe. Configuration of, and input to the system are managed via a GitHub repository that allows automatic / manual triggering and interaction by authorized users. ShakeMap-EU provides a collaboration framework and laboratory for seismological agencies to address the challenges posed by the heterogeneity of ground shaking mapping strategies across Europe and the need to promote homogenization and best practices in this domain. ShakeMap-EU is used in research projects as the test platform for novel international collaborative research: among recent examples are the ongoing enhancements towards an evolutionary hazard information system including real-time seismicity characterisation and information on earthquake-induced phenomena.
