APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation Visitors Program

亚太经合组织合作地震模拟访问者计划。该项目旨在通过开发地震生成过程的数值模拟模型，提高对地震的认识。其核心是一个重大的国际合作，通过在澳大利亚的亚太经合组织地震模拟合作总部和海外卓越中心之间的游客交流计划实现。地震是损失最大、最致命的自然灾害之一，亚太经合组织成员经济体地震风险很高。最近的分析表明，地震可能主导澳大利亚的损失潜力。互补的研究计划提供了一个机会，以实现突破性的进展，改进方法的地震预报和灾害量化。

APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation Visitors Program. This project aims to improve understanding of earthquakes through development of numerical simulation models for the earthquake generation process. Its centerpiece is a major international collaboration, achieved via a visitor exchange program between the headquarters of the APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation in Australia and overseas centres of excellence. Earthquakes are one of the most costly and deadly natural disasters, and APEC member economies have a high earthquake risk. Recent analyses suggest earthquakes may dominate the loss potential in Australia. The complementary research programs offer an opportunity to achieve breakthrough advances in improved methods of earthquake forecasting and hazard quantification.
