6th Kenji Ishihara Colloquium Series on Earthquake Engineering

Punctuated Resilience, Climate Change and Bio-Geotechnics | Next-Generation Liquefaction Modeling of Liquefaction Triggering and Surface Manifestation

Thursday, September 12th, 2024, 8am-5pm
University of California, San Diego

This year’s Kenji Ishihara Colloquium will include an update of the 2023 USGS National Seismic Hazard Map and USGS ToolBox for ground motions (Dr. Nicolas Luco, Dr. Peter Powers), the Next Generation Liquefaction (NGL) project (Steve Kramer, Jonathan Stewart, Scott Brandenberg, Ken Hudson, and Kristin Ulmer) and the topic of Punctuated Resilience, Climate Change and Bio-Geotechnics (Christopher Wills, Thomas O’Rourke, J. Carlos Santamarina, and Alejandro Martinez).
