7th Fault2SHA Workshop Brings Together Earthquake Rupture Forecasting Community in Vienna

The 7th Fault2SHA workshop, “New frontiers in earthquake rupture forecasting and probabilistic seismic hazard assessment”, was held in Vienna (Austria) from 6 to 8 July 2026, attracting a large number of attendees and featuring fruitful presentations and discussions.

The workshop focused on methodologies for predicting seismic rupture, multi-cycle earthquake simulators and their integration into probabilistic seismic hazard assessment. It provided a unique opportunity to discuss approaches, share experiences and foster interdisciplinary collaboration within the community.

The three-day programme featured five keynote presentations by leading researchers in the field and a closing round-table discussion with the following participants:

  • Kevin Milner – United States Geological Survey, USA
