Pacific Conference of Earthquake Engineering 2011: Special Session "New Perspectives in Seismic Hazard: from Observation to Quantification"

Forwarded conference session announcement from Mark Stirling, GNS Science:

Dear Colleagues,

We wish to bring to your attention the following Special Session, to be held at the Pacific Conference of Earthquake Engineering in Auckland New Zealand on 14-16 April 2011.

"New perspectives in Seismic Hazard: from Observation to Quantification"
Convenors: Matthew Gerstenberger and Mark Stirling, GNS Science, New Zealand

We invite the spectrum of collaborators and practitioners from the applied science of seismic hazard analysis to this special session on the "state of the art". We encourage papers from all relevant disciplines, including earthquake geology, seismotectonics, statistical seismology, ground motion prediction, PSHA mapping/methodology, uncertainty treatment, issues facing low seismicity regions, and more.

Full details of the conference and applicable deadlines are posted on the NZSEE website www.nzsee.org. Further information can also be gained by contacting us at m.stirling@gns.cri.nz and m.gerstenberger@gns.cri.nz Please note the abstract deadline has been extended to 29 October 2010.

Best wishes, and look forward to hearing from you.
Mark and Matt.
