Conference on Lessons from the Loma Prieta Earthquake: Implications for Practice

地震工程研究所将与美国国家科学院合作，在旧金山湾区召开一次为期两天半的会议，重点讨论从1989年洛马·普里埃塔地震中吸取的经验教训的应用。会议将向公众开放，通过准备好的论文开发的信息将广泛分发给资助机构、与会者、专业界其他人士和政府官员。预计这次会议将为NSF和其他联邦机构提供关于悬而未决的问题的宝贵意见，并有助于促进未来对工程、地球科学和社会科学中高度优先领域的研究。

In cooperation with the National Academy of Sciences, the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute will convene a two and a half day conference in the San Francisco Bay Area focusing on the application of lessons learned from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The conference will be opened to the public and information developed through prepared papers will be widely distributed to funding agencies, participants, others in the professional community, and government officials. It is expected that the conference will provide NSF and other federal agencies with valuable observations on unresolved problems and serve to stimulate future research studies on high priority areas in engineering, the geosciences, and the social sciences.
