A new seismic hazard map for the Czech Republic has been calculated using a probabilistic approach. Detailed and carefully verified catalogue of seismic events was compiled. The model of seismic sources contains also local active faults and active fault areas that are not present in European seismic hazard models, but significantly increase the seismic hazard in their surroundings. Peak ground acceleration (PGA) and spectral a...

The present study addresses verification of average seismic shear-wave velocity from the surface to a depth of 30 m (V S30 ) as a suitable proxy for a seismic amplification. For this purpose, we used instrumentally homogeneous and spatially dense seismic network WEBNET (West Bohemia Seismic Network), designed to monitor an intraplate earthquake swarm activity in the West Bohemia/Vogtland region (Czech Republic/Germany). Using...
