Compilation of the GSHAP regional seismic hazard for Europe, Africa and the Middle East? 欧洲、非洲和中东GSHAP（全球地震评估计划）区域地震汇编 G. Grünthal, C. Bosse (GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam, Germany),?S. Sellami, D. Mayer-Rosa D. Giardini (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) Keywords:?seismic hazard assessment, earthquakes, Europe, Africa, Middle East Abstract The seismic hazard map of the larger Europe-Africa-Middle East region has been generated as part of the global GSHAP hazard map. The hazard, expressing Peak Ground Acceleration expected at 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years, is obtained by combining the results of 16 independent regional and national projects; among these is the hazard assessment for Libya and for the wide sub-Saharan Western African region, specifically produced for this regional compilation and here discussed to some lenght. Features of enhanced seismic hazard are observed along the African Rift zone and in the Alpine-Himalayan belt, where there is a general eastward increase in hazard with peak levels in Greece, Turkey, Caucasus and Iran.?? Introduction The compilation of the GSHAP global seismic hazard map, planned to be one of the main products of the program, is based on the integration of all results from GSHAP Regions and Test Areas in three greater GSHAP areas: (1) the Americas (North, Central and South), (2) Asia, Australia and Oceania, and (3) Europe, Africa and the Middle East. This report deals with the generation and compilation of the different seismic hazard data and the homogeneous mapping of hazard in the greater area (3) Europe, Africa and the Middle East, conducted by the GFZ Potsdam. According to the original GSHAP planning (Giardini, 1999), the Europe-Africa-Middle East area was to be covered by the GSHAP Regions (3) Central-Northern Europe, (4) Mediterranean, (5) sub-Saharian Africa, (6) Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula, and (7) Northern Eurasia (western portion only). However, the development of GSHAP in the Mediterranean and Middle
