APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation Visitors Program

亚太经合组织地震模拟访问合作计划。该项目旨在通过开发地震发生过程的数值模拟模型来提高对地震的认识。它的核心是通过亚太经合组织地震模拟合作总部与海外优秀中心之间的访客交流计划实现的重大国际合作。地震是最昂贵和最致命的自然灾害之一，亚太经合组织成员经济体的地震风险很高。最近的分析表明，地震可能主导澳大利亚的潜在损失。互补性研究项目为改进地震预报和灾害量化方法取得突破性进展提供了机会。

APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation Visitors Program. This project aims to improve understanding of earthquakes through development of numerical simulation models for the earthquake generation process. Its centerpiece is a major international collaboration, achieved via a visitor exchange program between the headquarters of the APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation in Australia and overseas centres of excellence. Earthquakes are one of the most costly and deadly natural disasters, and APEC member economies have a high earthquake risk. Recent analyses suggest earthquakes may dominate the loss potential in Australia. The complementary research programs offer an opportunity to achieve breakthrough advances in improved methods of earthquake forecasting and hazard quantification.
