WEBVTT 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.000 Go. 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:52.000 Welcome back! Session 2 time! We are going to do some quick hits going around many, many interesting and exciting organizations that work on hazards in the Northern California to find out the latest and greatest that they are up to. And as our moderator, our guide through this odyssey, we have the fantastic Anne Wine! 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:58.000 This is what's happening. News and events in Northern California earthquake research. 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:08.000 And to start us off, we have Sarah McBride, the Executive Director of the California Seismic Safety Commission. 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:15.000 Good morning, everyone. Thank you, Anne, for inviting me to be in the session. I appreciate it, and thank you to all the organizers today. 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:21.000 Um, I am the Executive Director of the Seismic Safety Commission for the State of California. Since September 2025. 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:26.000 So, I'm still warming up the seat, um, and still learning a lot about the Commission, and. 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:38.000 creating a strategic plan. So some of this is going to be a little bit, um… Uh, just a little bit exploratory. So, uh, next slide. Go ahead, John. 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:52.000 Thank you. So… What is the Seismic Safety Commission? Well, it's the state of California's independent policy advisory body. It was established in 1975 in… partially in response to the 1971 San Fernando earthquake to reduce earthquake risk. 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:58.000 and to strengthen statewide resilience. Um, it brings together, uh, it acts as a hub, really. 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:08.000 for, uh… seismologists, geologists, engineers, structural engineers, civil engineers, emergency managers, local government officials, utilities. 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:15.000 social scientists, public safety, it brings us all together to create a long-term seismic strategy for the state of California. 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:21.000 And what we do is we're meant to advise the governor and the legislature on seismic policy or potential seismic policies. 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:34.000 We recommend improvements to building codes and lifeline infrastructure. We conduct and share research on earthquake hazards and mitigation, so we are a funding group as well, and we do have funds to distribute, uh, to support research in, um. 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:43.000 in areas that relate to, um, public policy. We support public education, including the statutory homeowner and commercial guides. 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:52.000 And we coordinate with state, federal, academic, and private sector partners to strengthen our resilience. Next slide. 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:58.000 So, our mission statement isn't to improve seismic safety and resilience for California communities by providing. 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.000 resources and guidance, facilitating research, and fostering collaboration and earthquake preparedness and mitigation. 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:09.000 And our vision is to have a California that is more prepared every day, um. 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:15.000 from and safe from and resilient to seismic hazards. Next slide. 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:25.000 So, last month, actually, we commemorated 50 years of the Seismic Safety Commission. This is the photograph we took on the Assembly floor of our resolution. 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:31.000 Uh, commemorating the 50 years of service that the SSC has done to the state of California. We are the oldest. 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:49.000 Seismic Safety Commission in the United States, and we hope to be around for another 50 years, continuing to inform seismic safety policy. Now, in that lineup, actually, is the first Executive director of the Seismic Safety Commission. I think he started when he was 16 years old. I can't imagine. 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:56.000 We were so excited to have Bob Olson be there in person, um, and we had many of our former executive directors in person as well. 00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:05.000 So, next slide. So, what is the 50-year anniversary matter? Well, we really wanted to take a moment to celebrate the 50 years. 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:10.000 and commemorate the 50 years of seismic safety that we have been working on. 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:26.000 Um, and… I will say that we invited a number of speakers, and if you were one of them, thank you so much for being there on the day, to talk about where we've been and the vision for what we could do next in terms of helping make California safer for the future. 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:43.000 So, next slide. So here is a list of our current projects. So these are the ones that we've already aligned to. These were projects that were started before I started at the SSC, so we have a comparative seismic recovery project that is being led by PEER. 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:50.000 We have a California Fire Safety Seismic Vulnerability Survey and Risk Assessment. This is our AB 17770. 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:56.000 And this… we're looking at how safe fire stations are, um, and so we're doing basically a repository of that. 00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:02.000 Uh, we've got our mobile home building code project. This is BRIC. Uh, this was funded by a FEMA. 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:11.000 Um, plus up grant. And that's currently ongoing. We've got a shake table project, um, that was UAV-enabled in structural and fire testing. 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:27.000 that was led by University of California, um, at San Diego, building health monitoring using the California MyShake app. So, looking at unique ways that we can take the earthquake early warning technology and use it for building health monitoring. So we're pretty excited to work with UC Berkeley on that project. 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:37.000 As well as reducing post-earthquake ignition and improving firefighting water supply reliability. This is also a project we're working on with UC Berkeley. 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:41.000 and, uh, Charles Cawthorn is one of our researchers on that. 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:48.000 And we're also redesigning our, um, our website, uh, and we have a 120-year. 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:54.000 timeline that we've been developing that should be live in the next week or so. So, next slide. 00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:07.000 So this is a little bit about our statutory requirement on the homeowner's guide and the Commercial Property Guide. Both the homeowner's Guide and Commercial Property Guide were updated in the last few years, but we are going to do another update because it didn't include earthquake early warning. 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.000 Um, that's particularly important for the commercial property owner's guide. Next slide. 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:16.000 Uh… we're there. 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:31.000 Next slide. Oh yeah, great, no, sorry. Ab100, so that is another legislation that we are under. So the AB100 changed the structure of the seismic Safety Commission. One, it gave us the responsibility to collect reports, or AB100 report. 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:46.000 Uh, from 13 agencies across the state, and this is for us to understand what their seismic, uh, responsibilities are, what they've been working on, and to promote their work as well as to provide us recommendations of where they want to go next. 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:58.000 But it also moved us from being more of an independent commission, more in partnership with Cal OES, where we sit now. So it really restructured the commission as we know it. It also took our 20 commissioners. 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:02.000 that we had, and now we have 15 commissioners. 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:03.000 Sarah, we're almost there. 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:16.000 Next slide. Okay, I'm almost done. So what do I want to do next as Executive director? Well, one is I want to… I want to increase the Commission's visibility, uh, by better aligning our communication channels, integrating with the web, connecting projects and policies. 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:30.000 And expanding our meeting locations. Speaking of, we are going to be going down to Caltech in Pasadena on April 9th for our next, uh, we have a commission meeting on the 12th, which is going to be March 12th, which is going to be virtual, and then April 9th, we're actually going to be coming down. 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:36.000 to Pasadena in a way to celebrate the next SSA meeting, so we're excited to be down in Caltech, and for them to be hosting us. 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.000 I want to develop a 5-year work plan that is thematically oriented and policy-aligned. 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:46.000 Uh, we also want to create and support a rapid expert elicitation process. 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.000 For critical policy questions that we need a rapid-fire response to. 00:07:50.000 --> 00:08:04.000 Um, and we also want to create new AB100 templates to assist with consistent reporting, so we can create a massive AB100 report that is basically the state report card for how well our seismic safety initiatives are going and recommendations for next steps. 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:16.000 So that's a little bit… that's a little overview of the Seismic Safety Commission, um, and if you just go to the last slide, if you have any questions, please let me know, and if you're interested in learning more about the Commission. 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:29.000 please reach out, and also we have a new role that is open on the Commission. A program manager role is now open with just advertised yesterday. Happy to answer anyone's questions if they're interested in that opportunity to help. 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:34.000 build the Seismic Safety Commission, so… That's it for me. Thank you so much, Anne. 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:48.000 Oh, thank you, Sarah, for all this important information and activity. All right, we're moving on to… The new co-chairs of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, learning from earthquakes, so we get to meet them. 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:54.000 Um, I know that Rob is here, and he may be speaking for both Ayesha. 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.000 Um, Hortascu as well. 00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:03.000 Thanks, Anne. Uh, yep. Hey, everybody, uh, thanks for having me here. Um, Sarah did a nice job on the 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:08.000 policy end, and I'm going to be representing, kind of, the earthquake and reconnaissance end. 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:19.000 Um, LFE, the Learning from Earthquakes program, has been around since 1973. It has a nice rhyme, LFE, 1973. Came out of Stan Fernando as well. 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.000 And, um, as of Jan 1, 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:30.000 myself and Aisha, her test queue, are the co-directors. We're taking over from Mike Mueller and Eduardo Miranda. 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:38.000 who had been doing the job for about 4 years, and then prior to that was Charlie Heike, who also ran the LFE program. 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:58.000 Um, I'm not going to show you any slides, I just wanted to give you some thoughts as Aisha and I move into this role. And those thoughts are building upon a workshop that was done in 2002 that was looking at reflecting on where LFE has been, and where LFE is going. 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:06.000 Um, myself, I bring a lot of reconnaissance experience. I've been doing reconnaissance trips since 1999. 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.000 And I've done a suite of those, and so… 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:19.000 Um, I feel prepared for when we will mobilize, and it's the in-between events that we have a lot of work to do. 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.000 Um, one of the… 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.000 Gabriel, you're gonna have to mute yourself. There you go. 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:30.000 Um, one of the important things is making sure that our members have the 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:40.000 Reconnaissance skills, so that when the time comes, we can mobilize quickly and efficiently. And, um, that takes a lot of planning and work. 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:50.000 And then there's always the scramble of making things happen in the field. And so we're looking at a bunch of different ideas and continuing ideas on how to make that happen. 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:59.000 Um, another important thing is improving the inter-organizational cooperation, and I think a good example of that is, um, 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:09.000 the 2023 Turkey earthquakes where gear and ERI collaborated in producing the reconnaissance reports and then disseminating that information. 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:15.000 And we want to do more of that collaborative effort with the other ears and other 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:19.000 organizations, both here in the U.S. and internationally. 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:30.000 Um, the technology is always changing, and so we're always going to level up with the technology, but that doesn't mean that we're going to put aside, um, the stuff that we know works and is tried and true. 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:43.000 A good example is a lot of the drone imaging and drone sensing that we did in the Turkey earthquakes and how that's enabled a lot of learning from that. But also, um… 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.000 a Right in the Rain book is always indispensable when you're out in the field. 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:59.000 Uh, you know, one of our long-term and persistent goals is disseminating the information often and widely so that the lessons that we learn from these earthquakes 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:06.000 can be, um, adopted and incorporated into both engineering, earthquake science and earthquake engineering. 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.000 And, um, one of the programs that I'm 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:19.000 very, um, a big fan of is the travel study program that ERI is doing, where we have these longitudinal studies 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:27.000 And we visit events 5 years hence with people that were doing the reconnaissance, and then also newer members. 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:39.000 And that does dual purpose, which is we can reflect on what we've learned since the event, and then also we can hone the skills of new practitioners of being out in the field. 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.000 Um, and the last one is that, um… 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:50.000 Aisha and I are both focusing on integrating the virtual reconnaissance team, so that's VERT, 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:58.000 more tightly into our executive committee and, um, coming up with means of 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:09.000 Mobilizing Vert, both for events that we're going to physically mobilize for, but also events that we're not going to mobilize for, and then disseminating that virtual information as quickly as possible. 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:19.000 So those are the highlights that I wanted to touch on, and feel free to reach out to me or Aisha if you have any ideas, or if you want to talk about collaborations, or anything else. 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.000 Thanks, Ian. Thanks, everybody. 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:31.000 Yeah, yeah, thank you, Rob. Um, great, so we're gonna keep moving, come back for questions. Uh, next up, we have Harold Tobin. 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:38.000 With the Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center to give us an update on what Crescent is doing. 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:47.000 Great, thanks everybody, and uh… thanks for the invitation to speak. Moving northward a little bit, uh, yes, I'm Harold Tobin at the University of Washington and PNSN. 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:53.000 I think I'm the only person in Seattle who's not at the Seahawks, uh, victory parade right now. 00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:59.000 Um, which, by the way, you can follow along, seahawks.pnsn.org, if you want to see ground motions at Lumen Field. 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:06.000 Anyway, but what I'm speaking about today, of course, is the Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center. 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:14.000 We are essentially at the midpoint of our initial 5-year commitment from NSF to be a center. Crescent is funded. 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:19.000 through the same funding mechanism that SCEC has been for a long time, the same program, same. 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:28.000 Same system. Um, uh, and that's sort of Crescent's, you know, birth is through the NSF funding, but we've also received support that we're very happy. 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.000 four from both the USGS and PG&E, in fact, thanks to some of the speakers later. 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:46.000 Uh, and coming up in a few minutes, um… Uh, for all of that. So, you know, we really span the region, of course, from offshore Vancouver Island and the Explorer Plate region down to the Gorda Plate and Mendocino Triple Junction. 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:52.000 And so we overlap well with the Northern California interests that are relevant to this community. 00:14:52.000 --> 00:15:05.000 I'm going to give you just a little bit about what Crescent is, um, and some updates on what we've been doing so far and where we're headed in the next couple of minutes. Um, the website is there, and please look to the website for a lot more information on everything I'm talking about. 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:12.000 including the faces and the people that I won't have time to really mention who are behind all these activities. Crescent is about. 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:18.000 75 researchers and growing quickly at this point. So, fundamentally, it's about both. 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:23.000 The science behind the general Cascadia Regions earthquakes and attendant. 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:29.000 cascading hazards from tsunamis to landslides and other potential hazards, liquefaction. 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.000 and connecting that science to societally relevant outcomes, partnerships and development of applications. 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.000 Always, yeah. 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:42.000 Um, and then to expanding access, you know, to careers through geoscience education inclusion. So we're sort of built around these three pillars. 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:50.000 And I'm going to talk mostly about the science planning pillar in just a second, but let me speak about partnership and applications as an important piece of what's happening. 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:55.000 Uh, Crescent is building, I think, a network of connections to. 00:15:55.000 --> 00:16:02.000 everything from, you know, community level and industrial level engaged decision makers, stakeholders. 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:11.000 Um, and the population at large through a whole range of things ranging all the way from social media outreach to specific community partner meetings that I'll talk about in a second. 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:20.000 Um, the education and inclusion piece I won't talk about so much today, but is a really important piece of what Crescent is doing with a number of programs from. 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:25.000 undergraduate and even K-12 right up through, um, uh, sort of, uh. 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:30.000 graduate to even early career and senior scientist education programs. 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:43.000 Let me focus in on the science pillar, and I am the lead for science planning in Crescent. Let me see if I can make the slide advanced… 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:52.000 Hopefully I didn't do it twice. Um, so this is just looking at that science planning, and Creston is organized around the activities of five working groups and. 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:59.000 5 actually, uh, special interest groups, because we just initiated a new one that has made it on this slide. 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:03.000 new special interest group in tsunami sources for hazard assessment. 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:10.000 Uh, across the region. But the concept is that each working group has a topic, they're overlapping in many ways, as you'll see. 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:15.000 Um, their goals are to synthesize and assess the state of knowledge in each of these areas. 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:22.000 from the sort of paleo-seismological understanding of both Cascadia megathrust events and other earthquakes in the region. 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:27.000 Coupling and seismicity as sort of a fundamental problem in understanding how. 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:35.000 how the regional, sort of, um. Um, you know, geodetic level blocks are working and interacting with the active seismicity in the region. 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:45.000 Building new velocity models, um, so that. fault models, dynamic rupture models, tsunami models, etc, ground motion models can be propagated through all of them. 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:55.000 Um, so, I'm going to talk a little bit in the next slide about some of these model products that are available to everyone to use and that have strong overlap into Northern California. 00:17:55.000 --> 00:18:03.000 And then I'm going to talk about some of the other science activities as well. All of it is facilitated by some dedicated cyber infrastructure. We have two full-time. 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:13.000 FTE folks doing software and coding and cloud-based products, web products, etc, and we're also working with Earthscope quite a bit on. 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:23.000 on that. So, the first one is I want to just really highlight these platforms for data and model accessibility. So, uh, Crescent has released. 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:28.000 The at least first version of both viewers and the data… underlying data product for. 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:36.000 the community fault model, the community velocity model, community seismic velocity model, and a paleo-seismology sort of data. 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.000 base viewer system that is, uh, that is, that is developing rapidly. 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:48.000 Um, you can look at the community fault model by either scanning that or going to CFM at our website. 00:18:48.000 --> 00:19:04.000 Basically, right now, what you would see if you look at the community fault model is a 2D viewer, a 3D viewer, um, that shows the faults that were incorporated from the National Seismic Hazard Model, so that's sort of version 0 of the community fault model, um, is the ones that are directly. 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:10.000 pulled in from the USGS, sort of, that official one, but we're in the midst right now of. 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:15.000 adding and vetting quite a large number of potentially active faults to. 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:28.000 The model, especially in the offshore region, which, as you can see, is kind of underpopulated, and that version 1 of sort of our expanded model will be coming out later this year. 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:37.000 the community velocity model is sort of in a similar state. Right now, if you go to the viewer, which if you just replace the F with a V in that website address, you'll find the CVM. 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:49.000 And you will see that a number of published velocity models are present there right now, and you can click through and view them, see what their scales are, what, you know, draw cross-section through them, and a lot of other pretty neat tools. 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:58.000 Uh, in 3D across those models. And, um, that group that is running the community velocity model is also now in the midst of. 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:07.000 building new, full waveform invasion-based, um, uh, new velocity models for P wave and ultimately P and S wave velocities. 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:10.000 across the region at a variety of different sort of nested scales. 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:19.000 Um, I can't say too much more about all the others. There is also effort to build, um, earthquake catalogs using enhanced machine learning and template-based. 00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:25.000 systems to build on what PNSN or the Northern California Seismic Networks have. 00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:30.000 that viewer's not online yet, but is coming, and a landslide database viewer as well. 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:31.000 Thanks, Harold. Can we… we need to finish up. 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:36.000 Um… 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:44.000 A nber of scientific activities are going on from new coupling and locking models, rupture modeling at the dynamic scale. 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:53.000 And and docenting faults in their effects. And i do want to show this last slide to just say we have multiple upcoming workshops. 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:56.000 We are very interested in northern california. 00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:03.000 的application deadline of today。So you can get in on that if you want to。 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:09.000 The faulting and tsunami genesis. One has an application deadline, i think, of february 20.th 00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:19.000 的partnership and applications。Second workshop will be june twenty，fifth，and twenty-six in portland。 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.000 Take a look at the website for anything else. Thanks very much. 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:27.000 Thank you, harold. 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:36.000 counterpart now, speaking of which? Ahmed Albana, please, uh… You have to give us your update from the statewide. 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.000 California Earthquake Science center. 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:41.000 Yes? 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:44.000 Thank you, Anne. Can you hear me? 00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:51.000 Have slides, except one that i will show later, but i would like to share a few updates. 00:21:51.000 --> 00:22:02.000 To the organizers for having me here. And my 1st update is that, as of february first, st this year's cake turned 35. 00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:08.000 Years young, and i would like to take this opportunity to thank you. 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:13.000 The earthquake research counity, the skeg staff over the years. 00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:18.000 And the agencies that has been funding and supporting skec usgs. 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:32.000 Nsfpg and e, and others. for buildings, kick into a home for integrative signs, incubation of new ideas, innovation in seismic hazard research. 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:38.000 A hub for networking and building resilience through public education and preparedness. 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:52.000 And mentorship of early careers, scientists and students. But, as you know, skeg is also opening a new chapter this year at an unprecedented time for the earth's science, research counity in the us. 00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:57.000 I assure you that we remain hopeful but realistic and. 00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:07.000 And to continue our mission is this year pivoted to a team science approach, where we reorganize our science collaboration. 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:14.000 Plan around technical activity groups that are. grown organically from the counity. 00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:26.000 To address integrative questions in earthquake system, science. but with a stronger alliance with the engineering and user counity in ground, motion, simulation, validation. 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:32.000 As well as a bigger emphasis on science outcomes that. 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:38.000 have clear societal impact, such as large shakeout scenario modeling. 00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:47.000 I. Post, earthquake, response, activities. And earthquake, forecasting through continuous gathering and integration. 00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:58.000 Observations and cutting edge, simulation frameworks. To that end. Last last october skeg issued a call inviting the counity. 00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:07.000 To help shape this next phase through the submission of letters of intent for tag organization. 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:13.000 And and truly i i think the response was hard-worming, enthusiastic, and thoughtful. 00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:19.000 we'll be sending the feedback to the letter of intent leaders in the next few days. 00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:24.000 And and rfp will be issued, perhaps in april. 00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:40.000 to solicit the tag proposals Contingent on funding from the usgs, and other partners, too, so we will do our best with our partner agencies to meet the counity where it is within the tight funding. 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:49.000 Constraints that we have. In october skeg also issued an rfp for science, workshop proposals. 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:57.000 Through our and nsf. Award spec will be funding 8 science, workshops in 2026. 00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:04.000 to advance our collaborative efforts and help catalyse new research directions. 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:11.000 And please save the date for the 2,026 kick annual meeting. It will take place at a slightly. 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:18.000 At different time this year it will take place august 30th to september second in palm springs. 00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:24.000 And i hope to see as many of you as possible there, where we continue shaping. 00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:33.000 This new feature together also, february 14, th is the priority deadline for skeg internship applications. 00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:36.000 If you know someone who might benefit from this experience. 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:45.000 Please encourage them to apply Finally, i would like to share my very. 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.000 Like well prepared slide here from the headquarter to northern california. Okay. 00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:57.000 So this is a message from all of you. We skate clubs, northern california not only. 00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:04.000 The false and the data, but also the people and the skeghe headquarters staff is actually working very hard on organizing. 00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:12.000 A few workshops coming up in northern california, so there's a creep workshop organized by. 00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:17.000 christie roe, and pity madden in san francis state university. That's coming up early march. 00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:28.000 There's an unrest workshop on geologic slip, slip rates and pete seismic data collared by mike oskin and kim blosnik. 00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:34.000 Among others, and then that would be happening in may. And then there's also a workshop in park, field, in. 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:43.000 June, led by ben ellsworth and lauren, bergamen, and and it will be also held in northern california so. 00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:52.000 We look forward to seeing many of you there, and to continuing our work together to advance earthquake signs. But thank you very much. 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:57.000 Thank you. Alright, plenty of opportunities to get involved. 00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:06.000 And thanks for your coents here, mark bynthian undergraduate into internship link. He put on me. 00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:16.000 Great and we're up to well. Everyone's introducing the next speaker. So had mentioned to the pacific gas and electric, and we have them. 00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:25.000 Coming up so. Alberts coffee and chris madhu gogo. 00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:42.000 Alright, thank you. Good morning. Everyone. so if you don't know You probably don't live in california Anyways, we provide power and gas to northern california. We have about 169 dams. 00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:48.000 cause it's powerhouses. You can look at our miles of electric and gas transmission. 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:50.000 The fun thing that i always think about is the this. 00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:55.000 The total mileage of transmission of both electric and gas is basically the circference of the world. 00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:00.000 which is sort of exciting. 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:12.000 I want to talk about our long-term. Seismic program and our integrated seismic risk management programs. These are 2 avenues that we use to fund research to improve our. 00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:16.000 Understanding of septic risk, both at underneath the power plant. 00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:22.000 do you have a canyon down in tamless visco, but also our understanding of seismic risk to our infrastructure. 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:31.000 and and prioritize mitigation. so we can improve our our response during earthquake. 00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:38.000 So we put together just a few updates of what we've been working on this year. I have a very sparse slide. Chris has some more detailed slide. 00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:44.000 but a few things i wanted to touch on on the topic of none. Organic ground motions. 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:50.000 During the nga OS. 3 project which is ongoing, we will be developing new non-orgotic ground motions. 00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:54.000 And we're using 2 different approaches from different modeling teams. 00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:59.000 Both teams are supported in part by pg. And e. 00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:05.000 One is going to be using gaussian process kernels. And so these are smooth, varying functions. 00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:09.000 that are capturing spatial variation in in ground motion. 00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:14.000 And the other is going to be more of a geologic category based process and hopefully. 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:22.000 Also harnessing information. Geospatial information on on terrain. And and its impact on ground motion. 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:27.000 We're also going to be leveraging work. That's been done at stack through the cyber shake simulations. 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:32.000 In recent years simulations have been performed in northern california and southern california. 00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:38.000 Right now there are some additional calculations being done, so we can have the effective amplitude spectr needed for our. 00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:45.000 Njos, 3 graotion models, and that information will hopefully hopefully improve our ability to understand the spatial distribution of ground shaking. 00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:57.000 in the la and san francisco areas. i'm excited about those simulations, and also looking at some other things like Areas impacted by strong shaking. 00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:04.000 And thinking about return period in in population, nbers and area impacted from from those big those simulations. 00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:09.000 so that hopefully will be worked on in the upcoming years. 00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:14.000 As we move beyond nonagratic ground motions into fragile, geologic features. 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:27.000 you know, in the past few years we've looked at trying to balance what we knew from our hazard models, and what we can see from fragile, geologic features, and we find inconsistencies. We can't get our hazard models to fit our fragile future up. 00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:32.000 existence, and the reason is, is our our uncertainty. Models, and our ground motions are just. 00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:36.000 Wrong. We have too much randomness and not enough unmovelod model error. 00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:48.000 And so, as we go through, and we have these new non new nonorgotic models that hopefully do a more realistic job of partitioning. 00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:54.000 And the consistency between our hazard models, which are really data driven expert informed processes. 00:30:54.000 --> 00:31:04.000 And fragile features, that also. Should be true, and and make sure that we can get consistency between those 2. 00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:12.000 Here. This is a double rock along the. in your dial, by kenya, but we're also looking at other areas such as in the southern sierra. 00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:19.000 Where we have a lot of Glacial stones, that that that are precarious, but are very standing. 00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:27.000 and finally, time, dependence. here. We're looking at both earthquake cycles, but also aftershocks. After a large event. 00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:31.000 and we're trying to do this in a framework that is. 00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:36.000 Can be applied in a hazard model that is roastedly sampling uncertainty. 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:45.000 And so we need to be considered, you know, varying ranges of maxim magnitudes, and what's happening, and can be put into existing. 00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:56.000 Hazard codes that we use. So for the aftershocks. We're looking at a conditional model, where, we say, given this magnitude and this distance. What is the conditional probability of exceeding. 00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:04.000 Ground motions at different levels Form the earthquake cycle perspective. We want to look at the combination of the geological record. 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:11.000 And simulations to see if we can get consistency between those. 00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:12.000 What's up. 00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:19.000 And then can we take those simulations and apply them in defaults where we don't have that geological record and develop a model for understanding potential variations in time, dependence. 00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:23.000 Will you hand off to chris soon. Yes, okay, thanks. 00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:28.000 Yes, and now passing over to chris. 00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:33.000 Thanks, albert, i think you took most of our time, so i'll just briefly touch on what i was going to talk about. 00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:45.000 So if you don't know me and my name's chris meduguego i work on seismic source characterization for long-term seismic program and different pg and e functional areas like a functional area would be. 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:57.000 Our hydro group or gas group. I was just going to quickly touch upon some geographic focus areas where we have ongoing or plant projects and some broader research topics. 00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:07.000 So going from north to south of we've been doing a lot of basic fog mapping in and around the hat creek robin. This is important to our hydro system. 00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:15.000 There's been a lot of recent 3 depth, lidar data that's become available. So if you look at the in the upper right. 00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:21.000 There's a 1-thirdrd arc. Second DM. I'm hard pressed to see a fault going through there. 00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:25.000 But when you look at the lidar that just became available, last month. 00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:31.000 You can see a fault cutting north northwest through the image. 00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:36.000 Offsetting assault flows, and then also a younger fan, which is pretty exciting. 00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:42.000 There's a lot of this basic type of work to do in non-urbanized parts of california. 00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:47.000 And we support that work. It's important for utility infrastructure which is usually. 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:58.000 The transmission lines are outside of cities. So we're doing similar work on the contra costa shear zone, both the hat creek, and contra costa. Work is partnered with lci. 00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:04.000 Where we're doing work on the peninsula, fold and thrust belt western santa clara valley. 00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:13.000 Working with ray weldon, nick weldon, chris hitchcock to develop relevant relative elevation models on. 00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:22.000 Pre-development, terrace models. That cross this fault zone to characterize the deformation, zones, slip rates, types of deformation. 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:26.000 We're excited about the skec creek workshop. We monitor. 00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:37.000 Where creeping faults cross some of our linear underground infrastructure, and we've got a collaborative project with uc. Berkeley and paulson, looking at a site on the calaveris fault. 00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:51.000 and we're always working to reduce source uncertainty. On faults around our diablo canyon power plant, and we've got multiple collaborative projects with consultants, university researchers, and usgs. 00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:57.000 And then just quickly finishing up with some broader research areas. 00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:03.000 One that's quite mature, working with chelsea scott and her team's. Her team at arizona state. 00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:17.000 We've been really trying to quantify. The judgment that geologists use for geomorphic fault, mapping, and and come up with robust uncertainty zones. And we're at the stage now. 00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:24.000 More than 5 years into this project multiple published papers on developing a tool, chelsea's working on that this year. 00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:33.000 And this is the time for the counity to chime in and say what they want that tool to do, what kind of uncertainty, zones, and parameters they're looking at. 00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:43.000 and how that could work in their workflows. And then we're also starting an investigation of how irsl data could inform. 00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:50.000 quaternary marine terrace ages. so. I'll just close with that if you. 00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:54.000 Have an interest or doing work in any of these subjects. Please reach out to me. 00:35:54.000 --> 00:36:03.000 Thank you, chris and and albert and i. It's fantastic the way all the collaborations are coming through, and the session. 00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:08.000 That's really rich with that, and we've got jill to 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.000 真的是啊。 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:12.000 Yes, thank you. And thank you to sar minson for inviting me. 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:18.000 Ye 00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:24.000 So, for those of you who have never met me or gotten an email from me. I'm the associate coordinator for. 00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:28.000 External research for the earthquake hazards program. Here at the usgs. 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:35.000 I just wanted to give a quick update. On the fy. 27, upcoming. 00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:42.000 Notice of funding opportunity for external grants, proposals. And then also give a quick. 00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:46.000 Very quick update on what's currently going on with the fy. 26 funding. 00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:51.000 So first.st I just want to put in the chat, so i don't forget a link to our. 00:36:51.000 --> 00:37:00.000 External grants website. And there's some little notes i put in here. I don't have any slides, so hopefully this will help. 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:05.000 Everyone. So the 1st link is to our website. 00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:13.000 Once we have our no foe for fy. 27 approved the information will be posted here, so if you like to. 00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:19.000 Favorite, this, and check back every once in a while. We're hoping for mid-march right now. 00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.000 And then also you can search through the grants.gov. 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:31.000 search itself. We have a. We have a specific financial assistance, listing nber. It's 15, 8 0. 7, so that would. 00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:35.000 Point you towards any opportunities related to the earthquake hazards program. 00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:38.000 And if you have any questions later on, and. 00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:42.000 things come up, then feel free to email me at j. Frank's. 00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:48.000 At usgs.gov So the only things i wanna mention. 00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:59.000 Are. We're planning to follow our usual usual schedule, which is mid-march through the end of may is our usual open application period for grant proposals. 00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:13.000 It's called a notice of funding opportunity, also called a no-fo, for short, which most people like to call an rfp. So i just want to get the right lingo out there. So when you see the no-fo term that's external grants. Proposals. 00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:22.000 so the no foe will be almost the same as last year. No real changes. Just some minor changes to our fy. 27. 00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:31.000 Research priorities. So the one thing that is different is that we have a new approval process for our no foe. This year. 00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:40.000 Which means that it has to go through, i think, at least 4 or 5 levels of approval before we can actually post it to grants.gov. And accept applications. 00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:46.000 this ha, like, i said. It's brand new. We've never had to do this before, so. 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:54.000 I'm hoping this will not delay our posting. If it does, we'll have. We'll put a notice up on our website, and let people know. 00:38:54.000 --> 00:39:02.000 But again. Look out for around st. Patrick's day hopefully. We'll have it posted, and then we usually try to broadly. 00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:08.000 share that information via email via our usgs coordinator, so everyone can get the word out. 00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:15.000 related to the fy. 27, announcement. We would then, if everything's on schedule have our. 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:24.000 Proposal review panels this smer. They're currently scheduled for july through august, and they will most likely be virtual. 00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:36.000 so. If anyone here on this call. usgs, or otherwise, has interest in participating as a panelist, for one of our panels. 00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:46.000 Please contact sar minson. I'm putting you on the spot, sar and also, if even if you're not planning to submit a proposal this year, and use. 00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:52.000 And and you'd still want to participate in some way. Please contact sar because we'd love to have new panel members. 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:58.000 Every year, even if you feel like you're not an expert in something specific. There's always something. 00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:04.000 That you can provide an impact on, and your opinion is valuable. So. 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:16.000 I just want to put that out there And then going into this year for fy. 26 We currently have. 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:27.000 Proposals on hold waiting for final funding decisions. The goal for the program office here is to have the final decisions for those proposals on hold. 00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:32.000 To be sent to the pi's by the end of february. So the end of this month. 00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:39.000 that is the goal. So don't hold me to that. But we're going to try really hard to stick with that. 00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:50.000 mainly because we don't want to have the proposals on hold. Once the fy. 27 announcement comes out, because if you're familiar with that, we had to do that last year, and it got a little bit messy. 00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:59.000 People trying to decide if they want to resubmit or not while they're still waiting to hear on funding, so hopefully that won't happen this year. 00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:06.000 And then on the face of it the fy 26 earthquake hazards program. 00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:12.000 Total budget includes an additional 2 million dollars of new funding, which is over. 00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:20.000 The fy. 25 levels from last year. So there have been several directed increases especially to shake alert. 00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:28.000 That have been unfunded. So they're going to require a redirection of funds from elsewhere in the earthquake hazards program budget. 00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:34.000 This being said, that will likely mean. fairly large reduction. 00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:40.000 To the external grants funding for fy. 26. and that is. 00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:45.000 That has to happen in order to accoodate the large directive increase, to shake, alert, which is about 6 million dollars. 00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:50.000 And that was not fully funded with new money. So we're in a tight bind. 00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:59.000 For fy. 26, when it comes to the grants funding Just wanted to let you know that. And. 00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:06.000 I don't think i could share it much else right now, since we're still waiting on the final decisions to come at the end of the month, but. 00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:12.000 Just to let you know It's not looking as good this year as it was last year, so. 00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:17.000 ending on kind of a sour note. But that's the current status. 00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:18.000 Ye that's all i really have. 00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:26.000 That's the reality. Ye Ye ye no, thanks. Julie's spot on and time. So we've been granted a bit more time for questions. 00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:30.000 Because everyone had such great information to share. We've been rewarded. 00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:37.000 Does anyone Out there have a question for any of our speakers. 00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:39.000 You can put your hand up, or you can. 00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:45.000 Write a note, and the. Checked. 00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:49.000 See anyone's showing up. That's good. i guess. 00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:54.000 One thing i heard across the board was, you know, people have to think about priorities. 00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:59.000 And S. Rob mosul. Here. 00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:11.000 I don't see him on the screen. I'd be interested if you kind of threw out a few of your top priorities and sort of see how they they sound across all of you. 00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:12.000 I'm here. 00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:21.000 So just go on order that we spoke. 00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:22.000 Yes, ye 00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:30.000 Oh, is that may first.st my top prairies. Well, you know, my top priorities are really what i said about our future direction. One is to create the five-year work plan. 00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:41.000 We're going to be sematically oriented so that can look like, you know. Next year we're looking at critical water systems, for example, and really looking around that it could be that. 00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:48.000 We're looking at urban search and rescuers, and how we make our 1st responders safer. And looking at policies around that. 00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:54.000 So it'll be thematically oriented. And we'll also have cross-cutting themes around technology and use of technology around. 00:43:54.000 --> 00:44:02.000 Things like AI robotics, autonomous vicles. How do they respond in earthquakes? Those kinds of things may be that the types of. 00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:10.000 Thematic questions. We go along and really aligning all of our projects in future. Any once we sign up for for helping a policy outcome. 00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:25.000 There have been projects in the past that were really important and really interesting, but they were more interesting, scientifically or more interesting from a scenario-based perspective rather than what they were going. How we were going to translate that into a public policy gain. 00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:31.000 4 seismic safety. So we're really going to be tying in all of our future projects around that and. 00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:43.000 You know, like i said the ab. 100 template, so we can create a master report card for seismic safety for the state of california, or and not a master one. 00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:44.000 Ye 00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:49.000 like a mega one for the state of california as well as you know, doing things like updating the website, getting our information to be clear. 00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:54.000 More succinct and more focused on what the seismic safety coission is, and then, you know, really. 00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:59.000 making sure people understand what we're what we're not as well. So really, having clarity in the role. 00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:00.000 So those are really my priorities right now, as executive director. 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.000 Ye Ye Ye Ye Great. 00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:04.000 And hiring hiring is also a priority. 00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:16.000 Great ye Sorry That's awesome. Thank you. Let's Let's go forward with more the research priorities, because we've only got so much time i'm interested in what. 00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:22.000 Lf. Seizes some of the key questions going forward. 00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:38.000 Well, every event presents new information. And i think Priorities from my perspective would be between events. More efficient about getting prepared. 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:52.000 And then, during events focusing on having the most impact and learning from those earthquakes that always present new information. 00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:53.000 找一个girl。 00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:54.000 没有点。 00:45:54.000 --> 00:46:01.000 Ye ye i want to highlight what came up in the chat. Which is that, you know we have lots of priorities in crescent, but the one for this group. 00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:11.000 To focus on, is making sure that we really are working together with the california partners in particular, skec, but certainly usgs other researchers. Pge. 00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:17.000 On on the the you know mendocino and north region, right on the overlapping region where we want to make sure our. 00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:28.000 Many fault model, for example, counity velocity models. What the mega thrust surface that we're using, which is lots of debate right now on various versions from slab 2.0 to others. 00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:37.000 you know that that we harmonize all of those things, so that there are seamless models that can be built for folks who want to do things like dynamic rupture or. 00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:49.000 Or stress, transfer, etc, etc. Across the. Across the complicated region. We already heard some things that highlight, how complex the region is around mendocino, and just to the north, and just to the south. 00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:56.000 So that's a real focus for us is making sure we're working directly with skeg, and i really want to ask anybody who's interested in that region to reach out. 00:46:56.000 --> 00:47:01.000 To us at crescent. You can email me or reach out through other contacts on our website. 00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:06.000 So that we're making sure we're actually working on the problems that are relevant to that to that overlap spot. 00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:10.000 To amaze. Is that your priority, as well. 00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:17.000 Where we always love to collaborate. Of course, that crescent is a close neighbor, so that would be great. 00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:25.000 Well, with the rocky like funding environment. I think our priority is to. 00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:37.000 Bring this shift to team science approach into existence. So we're we're looking forward. 00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:44.000 We are also, perhaps emphasizing more the societal impact of our science. The great. 00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:54.000 Science that has been done in the earthquake research counity can actually have significant impact on the engineering counity on earthquake preparedness. So we are trying to emphasize. 00:47:54.000 --> 00:48:03.000 Efforts related to ground motion. Simulation, validation and utilization as well as revisiting. 00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:10.000 Activities like shakeout scenario for southern california, and reassessing the risks associated. 00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:18.000 With such large urban earthquake We are also working on partnering with with other. 00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:22.000 Partners in california, and otherwise to continue advocacy for. 00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:27.000 Science and our science colleagues in federal agencies, as well as. 00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:35.000 Continue with support for earthquake research. So so these are the priorities for this year. 00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:41.000 Now there are opportunities to work with the. The safety seismic coission on the counication. 00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:56.000 Of course i i was honored to speak in the 50th anniversary. Thanks, sar very much for the invitation, and we, we we definitely look forward to another 50 years of the seismic safety coission, future. 00:48:56.000 --> 00:49:06.000 But on the short-term we look forward to partnering with sara and the coission on this shakeout initiative, as well as the. 00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:19.000 Partnering for the advocacy and counication of what damaging earthquake with coast to california. I think it's something that might be underappreciated currently with the. 00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:27.000 All the interest, of course, and other hazards and and all hazards are important. But i think the. 00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:33.000 Impact of a large earthquake in california could be something like. 00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:46.000 We haven't seen in probably a decade a century or so. So, so this is something that we'd love to partner with the seismic safety coission on. We'll have to partner with dr. Lucy jones, center on. 00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:49.000 And we love to partner. Of course, with usgs. 00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:56.000 So this this is something that we all need to work together towards. 00:49:56.000 --> 00:49:58.000 还有boys and chris，how would you like to。 00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:01.000 Head on. 00:50:01.000 --> 00:50:08.000 I think. When i think understanding where. 00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:16.000 It just sort of got your highest time conversation with hot met about this about like where information flows, because i feel like in like the. 00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:23.000 This is sorry, maybe not the clearest idea. But 00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:27.000 The idea that we really like there are gaps. 00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:38.000 Across both technical areas, spatial areas. Like counities and understanding, like where handoffs happen. 00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:42.000 It's really important to like move things forward so that we are. 00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:48.000 You know some. Sometimes we'll see a presentation and say, oh, well, this is gonna fit into hazard, and it's like, how does that actually happen? 00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:55.000 Cause you actually might be several orders back in the pipeline. And you actually are an input to this and really be specific about. 00:50:55.000 --> 00:51:02.000 Interactions, or what you're providing. Both upstream and downstream of work, i think, is really valuable. 00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:08.000 So that when we get to the implementation stage we know where to go back to. 00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:13.000 Or where the gap is, and i think that happened that's important from like a. 00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:20.000 Response perspective, like. How are we going to respond to an earthquake? Where are the handoffs? How can we do that effectively? 00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:28.000 To a science state of. How do we improve our products because we have to understand who's using them? And what they. 00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:30.000 Or not? What are they struggling with use of. 00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:38.000 And so, and i mean. It's also like just internally we have. I mean, this is an idea of silos right, and i think it's just. 00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:44.000 Always thinking about like understanding how to sort of eliminate those is really important. 00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:52.000 To. I mean everything from funding to advancing the science So i think that. 00:51:52.000 --> 00:52:01.000 Like in terms of priorities. That is, one of my goals is like just to continue to try and like, make connections and understand. 00:52:01.000 --> 00:52:03.000 How everything can fit together and fit together better. 00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:04.000 ye It's complex. 00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:09.000 if i had to pick one area that i'm really interested in. 00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:15.000 I think it is scenarios. And the importance of scenarios to inform. 00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:19.000 Like how we can respond earthquakes and how we think about risk. 00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:26.000 Because it's not just shaking at one location that's going to be impactful right? It's going to be impacting large areas. 00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:40.000 And like. Different types of assets and and just like it's. It's such a bigger problem than just that we think about at one location, and i think that sort of changes the math question. A whole bunch. 00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:41.000 Ye 00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:47.000 Ye and i'd quickly add to albert's point because the application is one of my research focus areas. 00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:59.000 Once you have. Matured the science enough to think of how to apply it. You're starting a whole nother process so like this, this these discussions with chelsea's group. 00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:05.000 How to apply. You know fault, location, uncertainty to different workflows. 00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:11.000 That could be years of discussion and testing, and iteration. 00:53:11.000 --> 00:53:22.000 After the research isn't done, and my viewpoint, before i started thinking of how to apply science is, i thought it was done when the science was done, but the actual application part is. 00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:28.000 Can be really tricky to do it right? So i find that really exciting. 00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:34.000 Right. I don't mind that. You're mentioning scenarios. jill. 00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:40.000 How about from a usgs perspective? What would you? What do you make of the coents so far. 00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:49.000 Oh, gosh, i've been trying to answer coents in the chat, so don't hate me for not keeping up exactly. 00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:57.000 so you can just say what you've got the final word here. 00:53:57.000 --> 00:53:58.000 Ye 00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:08.000 后来是final word。Well，i mean，if there are any questions really，i mean，i'm just very much external research，shake alerts，quickerly warning，seismic monitoring all of scack，all of the things that we fund externally。 00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:16.000 So that's kind of my wheelhouse. I don't really have a lot of other things to share. Outside of that. I'm kind of stuck in that role which i i i like to be so. 00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:22.000 But if anyone ever has any questions about grants, whether we're in the open application period or not. 00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:32.000 Feel free to reach out to me via email, and i'm happy to walk you through a process. If you're confused or just not sure about something, so. 00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:38.000 Great. Well, thanks. Okay. So now we bring this to a close, and thank you all for your participation. 00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:49.000 Was really awesome to see how everyone's interacting with each other and trying to move from the science to policy. 00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:52.000 Thank you, anne. Thank you. All of our wonderful speakers. 00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:57.000 The next thing we have in our agenda is lunch, so i do not want to keep people away from that. 00:54:57.000 --> 00:54:59.000 for everyone. Please come back. 00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:06.000 1230 pacific time, unless you are one of the many, many, many, many people who are giving a thunder talk when we come back. 00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:12.000 In which case please come back 15 min early at 1215 pacific time, so we can get you set up for your talk. 00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:14.000 So go eat, come back. See you later. 00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:20.000 ThankThat's work.
