Project: Hazard and Impact Knowledge for Europe
| Acronym | HIKE (Reference Number: GeoE.171.011) |
| Duration | 01/07/2018 - 30/06/2021 |
| Project Topic | The HIKE project aims to support research and assessments of induced hazards and impacts that are related to the exploitation of subsurface resources and capacities throughout Europe. This will be achieved through development, demonstration and implementation of harmonized subsurface data sets and methodologies, investigation of applied use cases, and facilitation of knowledge shared between geological surveys and stakeholders. WP-2 focuses on the development of a European fault database covering a comprehensive set of static and dynamic geological and physical characteristics needed for the assessment of seismic hazards, ground movements, leakage and fluid migration, sealing capacities, fluid flow and other types of dynamic behaviour. This database will be developed, populated and tested in conjunction with several other GeoERA projects and external stakeholder involvement. WP-3 establishes novel hazard and impact research methods and investigates the added value of the established fault information in several case studies and geological settings across Europe. WP-4 concludes the research activities with future recommendations and the establishment of a share point for information, knowledge and preferred practices related to hazard and impact research. This share point is intended to provide a collaboration and knowledge exchange platform for future research by geological surveys and other stakeholders. WP-5 governs the embedding of the results into the GeoERA Information Platform. |

Project Results (after finalisation) |
The main ambition of HIKE is to establish a European information system containing high quality and user-oriented fault information, based on common standards and improved workflows for fault characterization. These workflows and standards must be implemented at the geological surveys of Europe in order to facilitate future continuation of maintenance of the database. The consortium partners share the further ambition to develop this system into a public end-user tool and information repository for applied hazard and impact studies. |
