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

摘要0213686，Harry Yeh，U.华盛顿“支持美国参与灾害-2002国际旅行赠款“这一行动为美国参加将于2002年10月在土耳其安塔利亚举行的国际研讨会HAZARD-2002提供了支持。该研讨会由自然灾害协会每两年组织一次，并提出了广泛的最先进的自然灾害减轻战略，从对现象的基本理解到疏散计划。专题包括飓风、台风、旋风、龙卷风、火灾、干旱等气象灾害;地震、滑坡和火山爆发等地质灾害;海啸、风暴潮、洪水、海平面上升等水文和海洋灾害以及海洋生物灾害;空气和水污染等技术灾害。该奖项支持的参与者包括美国自然灾害研究界的关键人物和初级成员。他们参加这次专题讨论会对于促进合作研究工作至关重要。自然灾害研究，特别是海啸研究，日益成为国际关注的焦点。例如，海啸不仅会影响震源附近的地区，而且会通过跨越海洋传播到遥远的地区，因此必须加强国际合作。这次研讨会的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.
