Abstract: 0608836On October 8, 2005 a severe earthquake of Mw 7.6 struck the northern region ofPakistan, which lies near the western edge of the seismically active Himalayan arc, causing more than 87,000 deaths, two million homeless and extensive damage to buildings and transportation networks. The relief, recovery, and reconstruction cost of this devastating earthquake could possibly top 10 billion dollars.Aside from the tragic loss of life and property, the Kashmir earthquake offers a unique opportunity for the U.S. researchers to benchmark their system level, integrated earthquake consequence-minimization models as well as assist the Pakistani research community in defining and strengthening their embryonic earthquake hazard mitigation effort. It is proposed to organize a joint workshop between the U.S. researchers, particularly those affected by high consequence-low probability earthquakes, and their Pakistani counterparts in Islamabad in March 2006. The primary purpose of the workshop is to help define and prioritize the seismic risk mitigation agenda for Pakistan and to share knowledge, expertise, and the field measurements and damage assessment data. Establishing research relationships, institutional linkages and educational exchanges will also be important goals of this initiative. A report defining the critical research and development needs and identifying specific collaborative research initiatives will be published at the conclusion of the workshop. The proposed workshop will offer the U.S. researchers and their Pakistani counterparts a unique opportunity to better understand the relationship between the immediate rescue, relief, and reconstruction demands and the long term sustainable mitigation efforts required following a massive disaster. It will also help thread an integrated view of the source to society issues and provide a test bed for the system level earthquake consequence minimization applications developed in the U.S. The workshop will set forth a strategic blue print for long term collaborative research and educational initiatives between the two countries that will serve a much desired human need as well as further the research and professional development in the U.S. Funds are requested from the National Science Foundation to support the participation of the U.S. researchers. The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan has committed to providing Funds for the local participants and the expenses related to hosting the workshop. The OISE program at NSF is co-funding the U.S. participation along with the SSHMS program of the CMS Division.

摘要： 0608836 2005 年 10 月 8 日，巴基斯坦北部地区发生里氏 7.6 级强烈地震，该地区位于地震活跃的喜马拉雅弧线西缘附近，造成 87,000 多人死亡、200 万人无家可归，并对建筑物和交通网络造成广泛破坏。这场毁灭性地震的救援、恢复和重建成本可能超过 100 亿美元。除了悲惨的生命和财产损失之外，克什米尔地震还为美国研究人员提供了一个独特的机会，可以对他们的系统水平进行基准测试，综合地震后果最小化模型，并协助巴基斯坦研究界确定和加强他们的地震减灾工作。建议于 2006 年 3 月在伊斯兰堡组织美国研究人员（特别是受高后果低概率地震影响的研究人员）与巴基斯坦同行之间的联合研讨会。研讨会的主要目的是帮助确定巴基斯坦的地震风险缓解议程并确定其优先顺序，并分享知识、专门技术以及现场测量和损害评估数据。建立研究关系、机构联系和教育交流也将是该倡议的重要目标。 研讨会结束时将发布一份定义关键研究和开发需求并确定具体合作研究举措的报告。 拟议的研讨会将为美国研究人员和巴基斯坦同行提供一个独特的机会，以更好地了解大规模灾难后当前的救援、救济和重建需求与所需的长期可持续缓解努力之间的关系。它还将有助于对社会问题的根源进行综合看法，并为美国开发的系统级地震后果最小化应用程序提供一个试验台。该研讨会将为两国之间的长期合作研究和教育举措制定战略蓝图，这将满足人们的迫切需要，并进一步促进美国的研究和专业发展。美国国家科学基金会要求提供资金，以支持美国研究人员的参与。 巴基斯坦高等教育委员会已承诺为当地参与者提供资金以及举办研讨会的相关费用。 NSF 的 OISE 项目与 CMS 部门的 SSHMS 项目共同资助美国的参与。
