[Shake-dev] Call for abstracts ESC/SSA Session 23 "Research, Development, Applications, and Operations Related to Generating Rapid Shaking Maps"

[C. Bruce Worden]

Hi All,

I just wanted to call your attention to a special joint ESC/SSA session we are hosting at the Second European Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (2ECEES) this August in Istanbul, Turkey. It is Session 23: “Research, Development, Applications, and Operations Related to Generating Rapid Shaking Maps." 

See http://www.2eceesistanbul.org/ for meeting details. We are accepting abstracts for both oral and poster presentations. The abstract deadline is April 1st, 2014.

The session description follows:

"Rapid ground motion maps have become an important tool for post-earthquake response and recovery efforts, loss estimation, public information, and for mitigation through planning exercises. Such mapping systems -- including the well-known ShakeMap system from the USGS -- have been widely adopted in earthquake prone countries around the world and in varied tectonic regimes. 
This session explores current research in the modeling and validation of ground motion prediction and macroseismic intensity relations as well as efforts to improve ground motion interpolation, site correction, and geospatial analyses (along with uncertainties) pertinent to such maps. We also encourage presentations on related research, operations, and applications. Such applications include scenarios, risk assessment, loss estimation, response tools, and engineering analyses that utilize rapidly-generated ground motion estimates and associated uncertainty information. "

Again, the abstract deadline is April 1st.

Hope to see you there!

Bruce Worden, David Wald, and Licia Faenza
