Evaluation of the potential for large earthquakes in regions of present day low seismic activity in Europe

Final objectives of the project:

1. to identify paleoearthquakes along selected active faults in the studied regions
2. to estimate the magnitude and recurrence time of these events
3. to establish a formulation of the results directly usable for seismic hazard analysis
