The S4H team recently published a research paper in the Journal of Earthquake Engineering, authored by Dr. Shaghayegh Karimzadeh, S. M. Sajad Hussaini, Daniel Caicedo, and Prof. Paulo B. Lourenço, in collaboration with Dr. Alexandra Carvalho from LNEC and Dr. Sanaz Rezaeian from USGS. The study extends the Azores Plateau ground motion simulations to include soil-amplified records and introduces a comprehensive validation framework. The accuracy of the dataset is verified through a comprehensive validation framework, showing that the randomization effectively captures variance and inter-period correlation observed in records. This work provides a robust dataset for advancing seismic hazard and risk assessment in the Azores Plateau
