2002 National Seismic Hazard Model - NSHM
Publication
This is the documentation for the development of the 2002 National Seismic Hazard Model. Previously developed seismic hazard models like this one form the basis for current models and future revisions.
Overview
Scientific knowledge and best practice have significantly advanced since the last updates of the NSHM in 2002 and 2010. The NSHM is being revised to reflect this, particularly international best practice and learnings from the Canterbury earthquake sequence and the Kaikōura earthquake.
The revised NSHM including its component-models and outputs will be freely available.
The 2002 National Seismic Hazard model results are the basis of the New Zealand Standard 1170.5 (NZS1170.5).
