Abstract
This article summarizes hazard sensitivities associated with the updated ground-motion characterization modeling (GMCM) scheme adopted in the recent revision of New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model (NZ NSHM 2022). In terms of impact on ground-motion hazard, the current GMCM scheme (GMCM 2022) results in an overall, at times significant, increase in calculated mean hazard with respect to NZ NSHM 2010. With regard to relative impact, the update in GMCM accounts for the dominant change in high-hazard regions, whereas in low-hazard regions update in source characterization model dominate. Within GMCM 2022, the change in shallow crustal ground-motion models (GMMs) dominates the effect on calculated hazard, whereas change in subduction interface GMMs has a compounding effect for east coast of North Island and southwest of South Island. Impact of the two NZ-specific adjustments to some of the published GMMs is also discussed. The back-arc attenuation adjustment accounts for a 20%–30% reduction in calculated hazard for peak ground acceleration in northwest of North Island, whereas aleatory uncertainty adjustment accounts for 10%–20% reduction in high-hazard regions such as along the east coast of North Island and in the lower west of South Island.
期刊介绍:
The Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, commonly referred to as BSSA, (ISSN 0037-1106) is the premier journal of advanced research in earthquake seismology and related disciplines. It first appeared in 1911 and became a bimonthly in 1963. Each issue is composed of scientific papers on the various aspects of seismology, including investigation of specific earthquakes, theoretical and observational studies of seismic waves, inverse methods for determining the structure of the Earth or the dynamics of the earthquake source, seismometry, earthquake hazard and risk estimation, seismotectonics, and earthquake engineering. Special issues focus on important earthquakes or rapidly changing topics in seismology. BSSA is published by the Seismological Society of America.
