United States-Spain Workshop on Natural Disasters Research

“美国-西班牙自然灾害研究讲习班”将于1993年6月9日至11日在西班牙巴塞罗那举行。会议的目的是确定两国在确定、预测和减轻自然灾害方面共同关心的研究领域。这些灾害包括暴风雨、洪水、干旱、山体滑坡、地震等。远程和原位传感器、通信和警报系统、计算机硬件和软件方面的技术进步；在自然灾害的数学模拟方面的改进将是研讨会上讨论的一些主题。关于联合研究议程的介绍、讨论和建议的会议记录将出版并分发给国家和国际研究组织。这次会议是正在进行的国际减少自然灾害十年（减灾十年）期间举行的众多活动之一。

A "United States-Spain Workshop on Natural Disasters Research" will take place in Barcelona, Spain, June 9-11, 1993. The purpose of the meeting is to identify research areas of common interest to both countries in the identification, prediction and mitigation of natural disasters. Such disasters include wind storms, floods, droughts, landslides, earthquakes among others. Technological advances in remote and in-situ sensors, communication and warning systems, computers hardware and software, and improvements in mathematical simulations of natural disasters will be some of the topics discussed at the workshop. Proceedings of the presentations, discussions and recommendations for a joint research agenda will be published and disseminated to national and international research organizations. This meeting is one of the many activities taking place during the ongoing International Decade for Natural Disasters Reduction (IDNDR).
