OpenSHA was originally conceived by Ned Field and is a work in progress that keeps pace with new developments in seismic hazard assessment. Much of the initial work was performed by ISTI, under contract with SCEC. Over the years, numerous others (listed below) have contributed to the project in both advisory and technical capacities.
