About The Company

The Global Earthquake Model (GEM) is a global collaborative effort that brings together state-of-the-art science and national, regional and international organisations. GEM promotes the creation of open tools, models and datasets for the calculation of seismic hazard and risk. The GEM Hazard Team assembles and maintains global and regional earthquake databases, and develops and provides the capability to compute and analyse seismic hazard. Currently, the GEM Hazard Team actively develops the OpenQuake Engine (the GEM seismic hazard calculation engine) and several tools and applications for PSHA input model creation and testing, such as the OpenQuake Hazard Modeller’s Toolkit or the OpenQuake Model Building Toolkit. The team also collaborates with groups of scientists in different parts of the world involved in activities promoted by GEM.
