METEOR Explorer - Tanzania Seismic Hazard Map

About

METEOR is a three year project funded by the UK Space Agency to develop innovative application of Earth Observation (EO) technologies to improve understanding of exposure with a specific focus on the countries of Nepal and Tanzania.

The METEOR project consortium is a composed of eight organizations crossing four continents and with expertise spanning from humanitarian aid, to remote sensing, from disaster risk reduction to policy advice. For more information about the project, please visit the METEOR project website. To download level 1 exposure data for individual countries, please see the METEOR project data download page.

Seismic Hazard Map showing Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) in g for a 10% probability of exceedence in 50 years for the country of Tanzania.

This map was produced using the GEM OpenQuake engine using the SSAHARA model produced, please see https://hazard.openquake.org/gem/models/SSA/ for further details.
