Learning From Earthquakes

AbstractCMS 0001718PI：Susan K. Tubbesing机构：地震工程研究所（EERI）“从地震中学习“近30年来，NSF一直为地震工程研究所（EERI）的”从地震中学习“（LFE）计划提供支持。 这些资金使多学科研究小组能够对世界各地的重大地震进行实地调查，并观察和记录对自然和建筑环境的影响以及由此产生的社会，经济和政策影响。 LFE计划将继续产生新的知识，导致实践的变化，并刺激地震工程和相关领域的新研究。 最近发生的地震使人们感到关切的是，需要改进实地勘察的协调，以减少重复工作，需要更好地利用新技术，以缩小在收集和分析损害数据方面的差距，并改进信息的提供和传播。 作为震后调查的领导机构，EERI修订了LFE计划，以包括在改善震后NSF资助的研究工作的整体协调方面发挥更大的作用。 EERI将召开一次邀请研讨会，以建立一个合作协议，最大限度地利用相关组织的资源和能力，并确保对美国和国外未来地震的研究反应更加有效。 EERI将采购必要的设备，包括手持全球定位系统装置、微动装置和研讨会上可能建议的其他设备，以加强数据收集和传播工作。 EERI将继续担任美国地震调查协调员，举行简报会，准备全面的侦察报告，并通过各种媒体广泛传播调查结果。 EERI将创建一个新的项目来进行地震后的即时数据收集，并为团队成员提供培训-制定一个项目来推进地震工程的科学和实践，并在这样做的过程中帮助减少未来的地震损失。

AbstractCMS 0001718PI: Susan K. TubbesingInstitution: Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI)"Learning From Earthquakes"For nearly 30 years, support for the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute's (EERI) Learning from Earthquakes (LFE) program, has been provided by NSF. These funds enable multidisciplinary research teams to carry out field investigations of significant earthquakes throughout the world, and to observe and document effects on the natural and built environment and resulting social, economic and policy impacts. The LFE program will continue to generate new knowledge, leading to changes in practice and stimulating new research in earthquake engineering and related fields. Recent earthquakes have raised concern about the need to improve the coordination of field reconnaissance to reduce duplication of effort, and the need to make better use of new technologies to reduce gaps in damage data collection and analysis, and improve availability and dissemination of information. As the leading organization in post-earthquake investigations, EERI has revised the LFE program to include a much-expanded role in improving the overall coordination of post-earthquake NSF-funded research efforts. EERI will convene an invitational workshop to establish a cooperative protocol to maximize the resources and capabilities of the involved organizations and ensure a more efficient and effective research response to future earthquakes in the U.S. and abroad. EERI will procure necessary equipment, including hand-held GPS units, microtremor devices, and other equipment as may be suggested in the workshop to enhance data collection and dissemination effort. EERI will continue to serve as the U.S. coordinator for earthquake investigations, hold briefings, prepare comprehensive reconnaissance reports, and broadly distribute findings via various media. EERI will create a new program to carry out immediate post-earthquake data gathering and provide training for team members - developing a program to advance the science and practice of earthquake engineering and, in so doing, helping to reduce future earthquake losses.
