TREAD daTa and pRocesses in sEismic hAzarD: a MSCA-Doctoral Networks project 2023-2027

TREAD is a new project funded by the European Commission in the framework of Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions, Horizon Europe Doctoral Networks.

The aim of TREAD is to train a new generation of researchers to tackle the challenges of earthquake forecasting in complex tectonic settings using integrated observations and physics. The TREAD objectives are: (i) to develop a novel integrative approach to seismic hazard analysis in Europe and the Mediterranean from small-scale laboratory experiments to large-scale observations. (ii) to establish physics-based earthquake modelling bridging time scales from millions of years to fractions of a second in complex tectonic settings. (iii) to improve the link between earthquake geology, computational modelling and hazard and risk assessment with a focus on the needs of governments, industry and scientific stakeholders.

To reach these objectives the TREAD consortium comprises 14 academic and 8 non-academic institutions, of which 8 private partners, of high scientific level, from 7 European countries, covering cutting-edge knowledge and expertise in observational, experimental and modelling fields. 11 PhD positions will be available soon.
