LCI Participation at 13NCEE

LCI had a strong showing at the 13th National Conference on Earthquake Engineering (13NCEE) that was held on July 13–17 in Portland, Oregon.  We contributed to the meeting by sponsoring three seismic hazard-related sessions and by presenting the following four technical papers:

Should the National Seismic Hazard Model be used for Site-specific Seismic Hazard Analyses? by LCI’s Ivan Wong, Patricia Thomas, Arash Zandieh, Gabriel Toro, Qimin Wu, Melish Kayastha, Nora Lewandowski, Brian Gray, Alodie Walker, and Robert Gvler (with contributions from former LCI seismologist Nesrin Yenihayat and Pacific Engineering & Analysis’s Bob Darragh)

Capturing and Communicating Uncertainties in Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Analysis to Improve Decision-making by LCI’s Steve Thompson, Arash Zandieh, Robert Givler, and Scott Lindvall

The Tale of the 1872 North Cascades Earthquake: Challenges in Assessing Seismic Hazards in the Pacific Northwest by LCI’s Ivan Wong

Developing Seismic Hazard Maps for the Wasatch Front, Utah by LCI’s Ivan Wong, Patricia Thomas, Arash Zandieh, Jeff Hemphill, and Qimin Wu (with contributions from Pacific Engineering & Analysis’s Bob Darragh, RB&G Engineering’s Rob Johnson, and UDOT’s Grant Gummow)
