100th Anniversary Earthquake Conference Commemorating the 1906 Earthquake

摘要：本提案请求美国国家科学基金会为纪念1906年旧金山地震100周年地震会议提供部分支持。100周年纪念会议将在旧金山举行，会议将包括EERIs第8届美国地震工程全国会议（8NCEE）和EERIs第58届年会、SSA的百年纪念年会和OES抗灾加州会议。它的组织和重点是为地震科学家、工程师和公共政策专业人员之间的独特合作创造机会，并向广大公众提供有关减轻地震危害的最新、简明、协调和专家意见。会议将具有重要的智力价值，促进对每个主要学科的认识和理解：地球科学、工程和应急管理，以及这些领域之间的知识和理解。这次会议还将产生广泛的社会影响。它将确定我们今后的发展方向，并激发人们对旧金山湾区及其他地区地震安全和地震研究的热情和承诺，以及更广泛地说，对国家减少地震灾害计划的热情和承诺。除了召集共同召集协会的最先进的会议外，会议还将利用在场的专业知识为中小学科学教师、消防员和其他有兴趣扩大知识的专业人员提供教程和其他特别会议，以及针对所有对地震减灾技术感兴趣的人的公共论坛。

Abstract:This proposal asks the National Science Foundation for partial support for the 100th Anniversary Earthquake Conference Commemorating the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. The 100th Anniversary Conference will be held in San Francisco, and will include EERIs 8th U.S. National Conference on Earthquake Engineering (8NCEE) and EERIs 58th Annual Meeting, SSA's Centennial Annual Meeting, and the OES Disaster Resistant California Conference. It is organized and focused to create the opportunity for a unique collaboration between earthquake scientists, engineers, and public policy professionals and to offer to the public at large current, concise, coordinated, and expert opinions regarding seismic hazard mitigation. The conference will have significant intellectual merit, advancing knowledge and understanding in each of the primary disciplines: the earth sciences, engineering, and emergency management and between these fields, as well. The conference will also have broad societal impacts. It will identify where we should go from here and kindle enthusiasm for and commitment to seismic safety and earthquake research in the SF Bay Area and beyond, and for the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, more generally. In addition to convening state-of- the-art conferences of the co-convening associations, the conference will take advantage of the expertise present to provide tutorials and other special sessions for elementary and secondary school science teachers, fire fighters, and other professionals interested in expanding their knowledge, as well as public forums aimed at all who are interested in seismic hazard mitigation technologies.
