Deterministic, Probabilistic, and Data-enhanced Models of Seismic Hazard Assessments with some Applications to Central Asian Regions

Abstract

We overview some seismic hazard research in Central Asia, namely, in the Shillong Plateau (at a local level) and in the Himalaya – Tibet Plateau regions (at a regional level), using deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard assessments (SHAs) as well as a data-enhanced SHA based on observed and simulated seismicity. Improving SHAs and integrating them with assessments related to vulnerability and exposure to earthquakes would contribute to understanding disaster risks and its reduction as well as to building safety and resilience in Asia and elsewhere.
