Scope |
Recent disasters in the Asia-Pacific region highlighted the importance of scientific research on disaster risks and risk management. Researches on the reduction of risks due to natural geological events like earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions in the Asia-Pacific region will be discussed in this session. The "G-EVER" project aims to form international collaborations between geohazard institutes and organizations in the Asia-Pacific region to advance the science of natural hazards and disaster risks reduction. It has been started in February 2012 during the first G-EVER international workshop in Tsukuba. The project enhances collaboration among geoscience institutes within the Asia-Pacific Region and reorganizes information about the future risk of global earthquakes and volcanic disasters. The major activities of the project include the development of international and national networks, establish a consortium to share and provide information and promote cooperative research, including personnel training in developing countries. Related activities, such as natural geohazard mitigation, sharing of resources and information about risks from earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, risk management, and outreach programs to citizens are welcome in this G-EVER session.
