[CEUS-earthquake-hazards] Request from USGS for Earthquake Hazard Modeling Contributions

[Williams, Robert]

Hi - fyi....

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) will update the National Seismic Hazard
Model (NSHM) twice over the six years since its 2014 update. The two
updates will be submitted for publication in mid-2018 and early-2020, in
order to facilitate potential incorporation into the next edition of the
NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Building and Other Structures.

With this memo, the USGS requests that the earthquake hazard community
bring to our attention new earthquake source and ground motion data or
models that could be included in the NSHM updates, at the discretion of the
USGS. The sooner such data and models are brought to our attention, the
more likely it is that we can include them, resources permitting.

For the 2018 NSHM update, only peer-reviewed data and models published (or
accepted for publication) by March of 2017 will be considered; likewise, the
2020 NSHMP update will only consider peer-reviewed data and models
published by June of 2018.

Please bring the new earthquake source and ground motion data or models to
our attention by emailing Mark Petersen with cc to Nicolas Luco
<mpetersen at usgs.gov?cc=nluco at usgs.gov&&subject=NSHM%20Contributions>. Mark
Petersen will reply to confirm receipt and request additional information.

Workshops <https://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/workshops/> will be posted
as information is available.
