International Travel Grant to Suport U.S. Invovement in HAZARDS-2002

[摘要]0213686，Harry Yeh，美国华盛顿大学“国际旅行补助金以支持美国参与危害科学研究-2002”这项行动为美国参加将于2002年10月在土耳其安塔利亚举行的危害科学研究-2002国际研讨会提供了支持。该研讨会由自然灾害协会每两年组织一次，从对自然灾害现象的基本理解到疏散规划，介绍了广泛的最先进的自然灾害缓解战略。主题包括气象灾害，如飓风、台风、旋风、龙卷风、火灾、干旱；地质灾害，包括地震、滑坡和火山爆发；水文和海洋灾害，例如海啸、风暴潮、洪水、海平面上升和海洋生物灾害；以及技术危害，包括空气和水污染。该奖项支持的参与者包括美国自然灾害研究界的重要人物和初级成员。他们参加本次研讨会对促进合作研究工作至关重要。自然灾害的研究，特别是海啸的研究，其重点日益国际化。强有力的国际合作是必要的，因为海啸不仅可以影响震源附近的地区，还可以通过跨洋传播影响遥远的地区。本次研讨会的研究结果将分发给美国自然灾害研究人员。

Abstract0213686, Harry Yeh, U. of Washington "International Travel Grant to Support U.S. Involvement in HAZARDS-2002"This action provides support for U.S. participation in the international symposium HAZARD-2002, to be held in Antalya, Turkey, October 2002.The symposium is organized biennially by the Natural Hazards Society, and presents a wide range of state-of-the-art natural hazards mitigation strategies, from fundamental understanding of the phenomena to evacuation planning. The topics include meteorological hazards such as hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, tornadoes, fires, droughts; geological hazards, including earthquakes, landslides, and volcanic eruptions; hydrological and marine hazards, for example tsunamis, storm surges, floods, sea-level rise, and marine biological hazards; and technological hazards, including air and water pollution. The participants supported by this award include key persons as well as junior members of the U.S. natural hazards research community. Their participation at this symposium is critical for fostering cooperative research efforts. Research in natural hazards, and in particular tsunami research, has become increasingly international in its focus. Strong international cooperation is necessary since tsunamis, for example, can affect not only the region near the source but also distant regions through propagation across oceans.Findings from this symposium will be disseminated to U.S. researchers in natural hazards.
