Information - NH4.04 Latest results of the PREPARED project and their significance for earthquake hazard assessments and for short term warnings
Event Information
The PREPARED-project (An EC supported project in the field of Natural hazards) is based on applying results and experiences of former EC earthquake prediction research projects, as well as experiences of the large earthquakes in the South Iceland lowland in the year 2000, to produce practical methods and software tools for warnings, long and short term assessments, aiming at mitigating risks from large earthquakes. The various parts of the project are carried out by cooperation of 16 institutions in 25 workpackages. The results of the various WPs will be presented. The WPs include: Pattern search in multiparameter seismic data. Deformation by GPS and InSAR. High level microearthquake technology for mapping of faults, stresses and fault movements. Shear wave splitting for stress monitoring. Studies of hydrological changes and radon changes. Strong ground motion. Paleo stress fields. Modeling of deformation and stress transfer, as well as the penetration of fluids from below, through the crust. Assessment of hazards applying all available information. Development of long term and short term warning algorithms.
Parallel projects in the field of mitigating risks are ongoing, with a base in Iceland, including early information and warning systems. Presentations describing these projects as well as other related work is welcomed.
