International Workshop on Strong Ground Motion: Santiago de Chile, June 4-7, 1991

该奖项支持将于1991年6月4日至7日在智利圣地亚哥举行的地震研究国际研讨会。美国的组织者是内华达大学雷诺分校的约翰·安德森，智利的组织者是智利大学的F·隆德，他是一个由四名智利科学家组成的当地组织委员会的主席，其中三名来自智利大学，一名来自天主教大学(PUC)。还有一个由来自美国、法国、意大利、日本和智利的科学家组成的国际科学委员会。参赛者将来自所有这些国家，奥地利，在拉丁美洲，来自阿根廷、巴西、玻利维亚、哥斯达黎加、厄瓜多尔、墨西哥、秘鲁和委内瑞拉。这次研讨会的目的是让地震学家和地震工程师聚集在一起，他们对利用强震数据研究问题有着共同的兴趣。智利的强震计划近年来收集了重要的数据，特别是1985年3月3日的地震。对这些数据的分析有助于我们理解地震源、波传播和场地效应，因为它们影响着强烈的震动。对于美国和智利来说，之所以出现具体的好处，是因为华盛顿和俄勒冈州附近的卡斯卡迪亚俯冲区以及阿拉斯加俯冲区与智利的俯冲区相似。除了该领域的老牌工作人员出席，我们预计将有来自该地区的年轻科学家和工程师的大量参与，他们将因此接触到与强震相关的工作的最先进水平。该研讨会将提供一个展示美国在该领域的研究成果的场所，与会者之间的密切接触将激发拉丁美洲有才华的学生到美国攻读研究生和/或从事博士后工作的兴趣。因此，它将实现发展中国家科学计划的目标，并解决教育和人力资源问题。

This award supports an international workshop on earthquake research to be held in Santiago, Chile from June 4-7, 1991. The U.S. organizer is John Anderson of the University of Nevada at Reno and his Chilean counterpart is F. Lund of the University of Chile who chairs a local organizing committee consisting of four Chilean scientists, three from U. Chile and one from the Catholic University (PUC). There is also an international scientific committee consisting of scientists from the U.S., France, Italy, Japan and Chile. The par- ticipants will come from all these countries, from Austria and, in Latin America, from Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. This workshop aims to bring together seismologists and earthquake engineers who share an interest in research problems that utilize strong motion data. The strong motion program in Chile has collected significant data in recent years, especially from the March 3, 1985 earthquake. Analysis of that data is contributing to our understanding of the earthquake source, wave propagation, and site effects as they affect strong shaking. For the United States and Chile, specific benefits arise because the Cascadia subduction zone off Washington and Oregon, as well as the Alaska subduction zone, are similiar to the Chilean subduction zone. Apart from the attendance of established workers in the field, we expect to have a large participation of younger scientists and engineers from the region who will thus be exposed to the state of the art in strong-motion-related work. This workshop will provide a place for the exposure of U.S. research efforts in the field, and the close contact among participants will generate interest among talented students from Latin America to pursue graduate studies in the U.S. and/or to do postdoctoral work. Thus, it will fulfill the goals of the Science in Developing Countries Program and address education and human resource concerns.
