The Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) Training Manual is an example-based instructional manual that teaches the main concepts needed to construct a simple seismic hazard model. Aiming for accessibility, the manual puts an emphasis on openly available data sets and tools, and instructs on the state-of-practice in PSHA.
​
Target audience: novice seismic hazard modeller, university level or higher
