Series
The
EERI student chapter of the University at Buffalo (UB-EERI), the MCEER Student
Leadership Council, the Networking and Education Programs of MCEER, and the
University at Buffalo’s Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental
Engineering jointly sponsor a series of seminars on a variety of topics related
to earthquake hazard mitigation. The purpose of the seminar series is to widen
accessibility to timely, technical presentations by students, researchers,
visitors and affiliates of MCEER. All seminars are held at the University
at Buffalo, and most are broadcast over the Internet in real-time. MCEER webcasts include links to a speaker biography, abstract
and full-length review.
Upcoming Events
Ronald L. Mayes of Simpson, Gumpertz & Heger, Inc. and the
EERI Friedman Family Visiting Professional, will present Base Isolated Addition to 185 Berry Street
Building in San Francisco’s China Basin on Wednesday, April 16 at 10:30 am in UB's Ketter Hall. The seminar will be webcast live.
