Annotation
The high tectonic interest and seismicity rate of the GSHAP CAUCASUS test area, the availability of abundant multi-disciplinary data provided a unique opportunity to test different methodologies and attempt to establish some consensus in the scientific community. Starting from the same input data six independent approaches to seismic hazard assessment have been used. The results were compared.
