NOTE: nshmp-haz represents a new USGS earthquake hazards codebase. It is currently under review and does NOT represent an official release or product. For official release products please see the USGS Earthquake Hazards website.

nshmp-haz is a Java library developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) earthquake hazards program ([EHP] (http://earthquake.usgs.gov)) to conduct probabilistic seismic hazard analyses (PSHAs) in support of the National Seismic Hazard Model Project (NSHMP). The primary goals of the library are:

1. to enable high performance seismic hazard calculations required to generate detailed maps over large areas and
2. to support a variety of USGS web applications related to seismic hazards research and the dissemination of hazard data.
