CRESCENT Topical Workshop
From hazard to risk: The science of planning for future tsunamis
November 7-8, 2024, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, University of Oregon, Eugene
Workshop Goals
From hazard to risk: The science of planning for future tsunamis
This cross-disciplinary workshop will review state-of-the-art of tsunami risk assessments, scientific gaps, and technical advancements to be implemented in the future. Designed to be of interest to participants from different scientific and engineering fields, the workshop will address four core themes:
1) Geophysics: science of earthquakes and tsunamis
2) Probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment (PTHA): the methodology of how we quantify uncertain hazards
3) Fragility analysis: from hazard to risk
4) Implementation: How do our models/estimates make it into policy and industry applications?
Application
The application is now closed. Your acceptance into the workshop will be confirmed via email.
