Moreover, the activities of separate working groups which contribute with their results for certain parts of the study area to the final product of the Regional Centre are described. Details are given on the development of the homogeneous seismicity working file, the delineation of seismic source zones, the data preprocessing as well as on the chosen PGA-attenuation relations. date: 1999-12 date_type: published publication: Annali di Geofisica volume: 42 number: 6 publisher: EDITRICE COMPOSITORI BOLOGNA, VIA STALINGRADO 97/2, I-40128 BOLOGNA, ITALY pagerange: 999-1011 refereed: TRUE issn: 0365-2556 access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher citation: Gruenthal, Gottfried and GSHAP Region 3, Working Group (1999) Seismic hazard assessment for Central, North and Northwest Europe: GSHAP Region 3.
