About

The NSHM Computational Working Group (CWG) documentation project covers:

  • NSHM CWG Scientific Process describes the processes and tools used to run experiments and build the NSHM models.

  • NSHM CWG Systems Architecture covers the overarching design of the tools, services used run, publish and support the NSHM.

  • NSHM CWG Technical Guidelines describes standards and common technical processes used by the CWG team to maintain and operate the NSHM systems.

  • NSHM CWG Index is a list of all the NSHM project components.

Project-wide documentation

  • Science publications etc

Diagram Legend

We use the following convention throughout the diagrams

NSHM vs NZSHM

These two acronyms are used quite interchangelbly throughout the project. Either can be found widely e.g. in repository names, Science publications, etc, etc

  • NSHM stands for National Seismic Hazard Model
  • NZSHM stands for New Zealand Seismic Hazard Model

NZSHM is a NSHM . There there are others e.g. the Canadian NSHM, the Japan NSHM). We use NZSHM to specifically identify the NSHM of Aotearoa New Zealand. While NZHSM22 refers to the NZSHM version first published in 2022.
