European Seismological Reference Model

NERIES - Network of Research Infrastructures for European Seismology

Goals & Features

Login:
  Seismological models of Earth crust and upper mantle structure are critical for many basic and advanced seismological tasks, such as the calculation of earthquake source parameters (location, magnitude, geometry), shake-maps, and the imaging of lithospheric dynamic processes. The resolution, reliability and consistency of seismic wave speed models control the accuracy of earthquake parameter estimation, and thus greatly influence the quality of further seismological studies. For the Euro-Mediterranean region no adequate, coherent, seismological reference exists, but one is urgently needed to improve European research and monitoring. The necessary data exist at national data centers and geophysical institutes throughout the EuroMed region. Our goal is to develop a commonly accepted European Seismological Reference Model (ESRM) based on these data.
