The European Fault-Source Model 2020 (EFSM20) was developed as an update of the European Database of Seismogenic Faults 2013 (EDSF13). For this update, we considered primarily the compilations that covered with a consistent approach significantly large regions, relying on the work of the authors of each compilation for the accuracy and recentness of the information. In EFSM20, two main categories of seismogenic faults are considered: 1) crustal faults, and 2) subduction zones.
The model covers an area encompassing a buffer of 300 km around all target European countries (except for Overseas Countries and Territories, OTCs) and a maximum of 300 km depth for slabs.
The hazard.EFEHR web platform and web services are developed, maintained and hosted by the Swiss Seismological Service (SED) at ETH Zurich under the umbrella of EFEHR, in collaboration with the GEM Foundation and EPOS (European Plate Observing System).
