The Seventh International Workshop on Remote Sensing for Disaster Management
October 22-23, 2009 | Austin, Texas
The Seventh International Workshop on Remote Sensing for Disaster Management, to be held at the University of Texas in Austin, is the latest in a series that brings together remote sensing analysts, disaster researchers, and emergency managers to exchange ideas and research results related to the use of remote sensing in disaster management.
This year’s workshop will focus on Remote Sensing for the Disaster Cycle: Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. The organizers encourage contributions that span all three of these components related to disaster management, and will be soliciting short papers from all participants. Group discussions during the workshop to develop strategies to further encourage the use of remote sensing in disaster management are planned.
ATC & SEI Conference on Improving the Seismic Performance of Existing Buildings and Other Structures
December 9-11, 2009 | San Francisco, California
This inaugural conference, organized by the Applied Technology Council and the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), is dedicated to improving the seismic performance of existing buildings and other structures. The program will focus on new information on the seismic evaluation and seismic rehabilitation of existing buildings, including case studies, new discoveries, innovative use of new technologies and materials, implementation issues, needed improvements to existing standards and methods, and socio-economic issues. The goal is to provide an opportunity to advance understanding of the tools, techniques and innovations available to assist in meeting the challenges of seismic evaluation and rehabilitation.
