  abstract = {{I}n continental interiors, tectonically-driven deformation rates are low, often to the point where they are unde-tectable with modern geodesy. {H}owever, a range of non-tectonic surface processes, particularly relating to hy-drological, cryospheric, and sedimentological mass changes, can produce strain-rates which on geologically-short timescales are substantially greater than those produced by tectonics. {H}ere, we illustrate the problem that such transient strain rates may pose in low-strain environments by considering the impact that the growth and decay of the {F}ennoscandian and {L}aurentian ice sheets over the {H}olocene had on {E}urope and {N}orth {A}merica respec-tively. {I}nduced deformation extended far beyond the periphery of the ice sheets, with the potential to impact on seismicity rates thousands of kilometres south of the maximum ice extent. {W}e consider how the modelled non -tectonic deformation would have interacted with several known active fault systems, including the {E}uropean {C}enozoic {R}ift {S}ystem and the {N}ew {M}adrid fault system. {I}n low strain continental interiors, seismic hazard assessment - crucial for the long-term planning of critical infrastructure, including nuclear waste disposal - is often dependent on sparse information from observational and historical seismicity, and from paleoseismological studies of surface fault systems. {W}e recommend that for a more complete seismic hazard assessment, the impact of non-tectonic transients should be considered - both in the context of the role such transients may have played in recent seismicity, and the role they may play in seismicity to come. {W}hilst such consideration has previously been given to the direct impact on glacial loading in areas directly glaciated, we show that it should also be considered much more broadly.},
