Data Release for the 2023 Alaska National Seismic Hazard Model
The U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for the state of Alaska was updated in 2023 as part of the 50-state NSHM update. The new model incorporates more than 15 years of additional science since the release of the previous model in 2007 and has been reviewed by a six-member review panel and a supplementary eight-member team of ground motion model developers. This time-independent probabilistic seismic hazard model applies new earthquake catalogs, declustering algorithms, gridded seismicity models, magnitude-scaling relations, geologic and geodetic deformation models, and ground motion models.
This data release supports the 2023 Alaska NSHM and includes the seismicity catalogs used to develop the model, hazard curves and uniform-hazard ground motions for the state of Alaska, and multiple period response spectra for the Alaska test sites.
