Free Webinar on Seismic Hazard and Risk Assessment for Induced Seismicity

Presented by: Ellen M. Rathje, PhD and Janet S. Cockrell Centennial Chair in Engineering - Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering
and Senior Research Scientist - Bureau of Economic Geology The University of Texas at Austin

February 13, 2020, 2pm Central / 3pm Eastern / Noon Pacific / 1pm Mountain

With the increasing rate of induced earthquakes, it is important to assess the potential impacts of earthquakes on the infrastructure and people in the affected areas. Approaches to quantify the expected levels of earthquake shaking (i.e., seismic hazard) and the expected levels of damage (i.e., seismic risk) are available and have been used for decades to evaluate the impacts of natural earthquakes. However, these approaches need to be adapted to assessments for induced earthquakes. This presentation will provide an overview of the approaches used to quantify seismic hazard and risk, and how they are being adapted for use with induced earthquakes.
