Seismic Hazard Assessment

Seismic hazard assessment plays a critical role in providing valuable insights into the effects of earthquakes to specific areas or facilities. Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment serves as a vital tool for understanding the probability of exceeding specific levels of ground motion within a given timeframe. Regional-scale seismic hazard models are commonly available, but for site-specific applications like dams, nuclear power plants or CO2 storage, a more detailed assessment becomes necessary. At Mahan Geophysical Consulting, we offer comprehensive seismic hazard assessments that are tailored to meet the required level of precision. This includes seismicity characterization and seismic source modeling for natural and induced earthquakes, ground motion modeling, and deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard assessment.
