Search for Peak Ground Accelerations (PGA)
according to the global GSHAP data (description above) at any geographical coordinates onshore


Peak Ground Accelerations (PGA) can be retrieved according to the Global Seismic Hazard Map Data for onshore locations worldwide defined by their Latitude and Longitude parameters. The PGA values are given in terms of m/s2. Offshore PGA values were not regulary calculated within GSHAP.


In addition to the given restriction, PGA values are avaiable within the following coordinate ranges:

  • Latitude from -90° to 90° in steps of 0.1°

  • Longitude from -180° to 180° in steps of 0.1°

Enter the geographical coordinates (Longitude, Latitude) in the form given above:

The assessment of the earthquake hazard for the Global Seismic Hazard map is from 1997-1999. It represents the scientific status at that time with respect to a global analysis. The conducted earthquake hazard assessments are based upon the assumption that the observed spatio-temporal behaviour of the seismicity continues in future. In particular, the data do not substitute national earthquake hazard estimations and do not have the status of an official seismic hazard map.
