International Travel Grant: U.S. Involvement in HAZARDS-2004

项目负责人：Yeh， Harry h .组织机构：俄勒冈州立大学标题：国际旅行补助金：美国参与危害科学研究-2004摘要：这项行动为美国参加将于2004年12月在印度海得拉巴举行的危害科学研究-2004国际研讨会提供支持。本次国际研讨会将于2004年12月在印度海得拉巴举行。该研讨会由自然灾害学会每两年组织一次，旨在介绍各种减轻自然灾害的战略，从对现象的基本理解到疏散规划。主题包括（但不限于）气象灾害（如飓风/台风/旋风、龙卷风、火灾、干旱）、地质灾害（如地震、山体滑坡、火山爆发）、水文和海洋灾害（如海啸、风暴潮、洪水、海平面上升、海洋生物灾害）和技术灾害（空气和水污染）。这项申请支持的参与者将包括一名结构可靠性工程专家、一名海啸专家、一名社会科学家和一名美国自然灾害界的初级科学家，他们出席研讨会对于与国际科学家和工程师进行持续和未来的合作研究至关重要。在研讨会期间，PI将推动并争取获得在美国举办下一届研讨会“HAZARD-2006”的权利。如果发生这种情况，HAZARDS-2006将大大加强我们在多学科减灾研究方面的国际合作。本次研讨会的研究结果将分发给美国自然灾害研究人员。

Prop ID: 0501107 P I: Yeh, Harry H.Organization: Oregon State UniversityTitle: International Travel Grant: U.S. Involvement in HAZARDS-2004 ABSTRACT This action provides support for U.S. participation in the International Symposium HAZARDS-2004, to be held in Hyderabad, India on December 2004. This international symposium will be held in Hyderabad, India, in December 2004. The symposium is organized biannually by Natural Hazards Society, and is set to present a wide range of natural hazards mitigation strategies, from fundamental understandings of the phenomena to evacuation planning. The topics include (but not limited to) meteorological hazards (e.g. hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones, tornadoes, fires, droughts), geological hazards (e.g. earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions), hydrological and marine hazards (e.g. tsunamis, storm surges, floods, sea-level rise, marine biological hazards), and technological hazards (air and water pollution). The participants supported by this request will include an expert in structural-reliability engineering, a tsunami expert, a social scientist, and a junior scientist of the U.S. natural hazards community, whose presence at the symposium is critical for continual and future cooperative research with international scientists and engineers. During the symposium, the PI will promote and attempt to gain the right to organize the next symposium, HAZARD-2006, in the US. If it happens, HAZARDS-2006 will substantially enhance our international collaboration in multi-disciplinary hazard-mitigation research. Findings from this symposium will be disseminated to U.S. researchers in natural hazards.
