Un Catalogo Sismico Europeo Unificado, NERIES NA4: Progresos en la Peninsula Iberica

Tomar, Portugal

Within the European Project NERIES, sponsored by the European Commission in the frame of the Specific Programme
"Structuring the European Research Area", the NA4 module is devoted to establish a distributed archive of historical
earthquake. NA4 objectives are to establish the required tools leading to the compilation of a comprehensive, digital
macroseismic intensity database for the largest European earthquakes (with magnitude >=5.8 at least) and a validated
and homogeneous European parametric earthquake catalogue for M>=5, to serve as an authoritative reference for
users involved in the assessment of seismic hazard and risk. The main focus is devoted to the time-window before 1900.
Some highlights about the whole NA4 project, actual state of the initiatives undertaken in the Iberian Peninsula to
contribute to it and future developments are presented.
