Abstract submission open for EFEHR’s ESC session

Abstract submission open for EFEHR’s ESC session

In September, about 700 early-career and senior researchers from more than 60 countries from Europe and all around the world will meet at ESC2024 in Corfu to discuss different modern fields of seismology and related applications. EFEHR will also take part in this conference and will host a session, highlighting innovative developments in seismic hazard and risk modelling across Europe: "Innovating and integrating: Bringing new science into Earthquake Hazard and Risk Assessment for Europe”. The past decade has witnessed a leap forward in the development of earthquake hazard and risk models. Looking to the future, we can see the emergence of new technologies and scientific innovations that have the potential to address the challenges in the characterization of earthquakes and their impacts on society. 

The focus of EFEHR's session is therefore on how we can integrate emerging science and technologies into future generations of models to serve a wide range of applications. Submissions on a diverse range of topics are welcome:

  • State-of-the-art earthquake hazard, vulnerability, exposure, and risk models in Europe;
  • Capitalising on new datasets and advanced technologies including remote sensing, geodesy, crowd-sourced data, machine learning, and distributed acoustic sensing;
  • Physics-based simulations of the earthquake rupture and strong ground shaking;
  • Time-dependent hazard and risk analysis;
  • Multi-hazard modelling integrating earthquake-induced events such as subaerial and submarine landslides, tsunamis, liquefaction, and co-seismic displacements;
  • Novel methods for quantification, propagation, and reduction of uncertainties, and for validation and verification of models against data;
  • Societal impact and applications in industry, including seismic design, catastrophe modelling, impact forecasting, and risk assessment

Deadline abstract submission: 12 April 2024
