1993 Earthquake Conference

这次会议将是一个为期两天半的活动，讨论美国中部和东部在减少地震威胁方面取得的进展。重点将放在今后的研究需要上，即90年代余下十年和以后的研究议程。在会议召开之前，将编写专著，讨论危害评估、建筑环境和研究、准备、响应和恢复以及社会和经济损失等五个技术领域的最新技术。此外，将举行论文和海报会议，讨论这五个领域的个别作品和需要，并将出版一套载有约150篇论文的论文集。会议将以强调地震学家、工程师、应急管理人员、社会科学家和规划人员之间的讨论和互动的方式举行。会议将于1993年5月2日至5日在田纳西州孟菲斯举行。

The conference will be a two and one-half day event to address the progress that has been made in the Central and Eastern United States toward the reduction of the earthquake threat. A key focus will be on future needs for research, i.e., a research agenda for the remaining decade of the 90s and beyond. In advance of the conference, monographs will be developed addressing the state-of-the-art technology in five technical areas of hazard assessment, the built environment and research, preparedness, response and recovery, and social and economical losses. In addition, paper and poster sessions will be held to address individual works and needs in these five areas, and a set of proceedings will be published containing approximately 150 papers on the subjects. The conference will be held in a manner that emphasizes discussion and interaction among seismologists, engineers, emergency managers, social scientists, and planners. The conference will be held in Memphis, Tennessee on May 2-5, 1993.
