School for Young Scientists
"System Analysis and Seismic Hazard Assessment"

Moscow, 12-15 July 2016 Venue: Lomonosov Moscow State University

Geophysical Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (GC RAS) and Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of the Lomonosov Moscow State University have organized from 12 to 15 July the School for Young Scientists “Systems Analysis and Seismic Hazard Assessment”. The School has been funded by Russian Science Foundation (RSF) within the framework of RSF Project 15-17-30020 "Application of system analysis for estimation of seismic hazard in the regions of Russia" and has been endorsed by Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA), International Council for Science (ICSU).

The number of School participants was 33, including 30 students and young scientists (under the age of 35). Participants represented 16 scientific and educational institutions. Eleven Russian and seven foreign lecturers have given 27 lectures for the School participants. The lecturers represented GC RAS, Institute of Earthquake Prediction Theory and Mathematical Geophysics, RAS, Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth, RAS, University of Trieste (Italy), Institute of Earth Physics of Paris (France), National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (Italy), National Center of Space Studies (France), University of Potsdam (Germany), University of Edinburg (UK). Representatives of governing bodies of international scientific organizations were among the lecturers: Prof. G. Boulton, CODATA President, Dr. Heide Hackmann, ICSU Executive Director, Dr. A. Ismail-Zadeh, General Secretary of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics.

The lectures focused on various aspects of seismic hazard assessment including results obtained within the framework of the RSF Project 15-17-30020, which is aimed at development of new system algorithmic approaches to seismic hazard assessment in the active regions of Russia and creation of GIS-applications for mapping and assessment procedures. The lecture of Prof. A.Gvishiani, Director of GC RAS, should be especially noted. It contained formulation of concepts of application of advanced systems analysis methodology to a problem of seismic hazard assessment. The lectures of the foreign scientists reflected results of many years of joint studies with Russian colleagues.

There were direct scientific conversations between School participants and lecturers during the School. This offered an opportunity for participants to better understand the presented seismic hazard assessment methods and to discuss their own studies and research projects.
