Abstract
Estimation of ground motions of large earthquakes in urban regions is
essential in terms of reliable seismic hazard estimation, earthquake resistant
building design, and disaster mitigation. In regions of sparse seismic networks,
ground motion simulations are required to assess past and potential ground
motions. In this talk, I will briefly mention some of the existing theoretical
and field methods for the forward and inverse ground motion simulations for
large earthquakes with particular focus on our recent work in the Northwestern
Turkey. I will as well discuss the limitations of these models and possible
remedies for future applications.
