4th Kenji Ishihara Colloquium Series on Earthquake Engineering Impact of Climate Change on Community Earthquake Resilience
September 2nd, 2022
Virtually on ZoomHuman-induced climate change is becoming
a global climate crisis. Natural hazards are increasing in frequency
and intensity. New challenges are arising to earthquake professionals.
Issues such as sea level rise, heavy rainfalls, and wildfires are making
communities more seismically vulnerable. What are these new challenges
in terms of community earthquake mitigation and resilience? How is the
occurrence of earthquakes on top of natural hazards exacerbated by
human-induced climate change affecting community earthquake resilience?
What and how may earthquake professionals contribute to solve this
global climate crisis? A global problem demands a global solution; what
are the next steps in this direction?These and other questions will be
discussed and addressed to provide some information and guidance about
community earthquake resilience, the roles of earthquake professionals,
and what other professionals are doing addressing other natural hazards
directly affected by the global climate crisis.Click the image on the right to view event flyer.
