In an ongoing project, the Swiss Seismological Service (SED) is renewing and expanding its strong motion network. The goals of this enlargement are a better spatial cover [...]

In 2015, the reference probabilistic seismic hazard maps for Switzerland were updated. In order to cover epistemic uncertainties in ground-motion prediction two major set [...]

Earthquake-induced landslides have a huge social impact, causing many casualties and significant damage to infrastructure. They belong to the most destructive secondary h [...]

In Switzerland, nearly all historical MW ~> 6 earthquakes are associated to damaging rockslides, resulting in some cases into destruction of settlements and loss of li [...]

Developing earthquake scenarios for cities in areas with a moderate seismicity is a challenge due to the limited amount of available seismological and engineering data, w [...]

We present numerical 2D modeling of earthquake ground motion for various profiles across the Rhône Valley in the Swiss Alps and characterize the seismic response in term [...]

COGEAR is an interdisciplinary natural hazard project to investigate short and long-term earthquake preparation processes as well as complex surface effects induced by se [...]

The Valais in Switzerland is the area of largest seismic hazard in Switzerland and has experienced a magnitude 6 or larger event every 100 years (1524, 1584, 1685, 1755, [...]
