Overview of

Non-ergodic Ground-Motion Methodologies and Models

On-Line Workshop

Monday August 22, 2022

9:00-12:00 Pacific Time

The Natural Hazards Risk and Resiliency Research Center (NHR3) will be organizing the second workshop on the development and applications of Non-ergodic Ground-Motion Models (NGMMs). The workshop will be hosted online on August 22nd from 9:00am – 12:00 pm (Pacific Time). The objective of the workshop is to elaborate on methodologies and demonstrate the tools for the development and application of spatially varying NGMMs.

The workshop is organized by the UCLA Natural Hazards Risk and Resiliency Research Center (NHR3). Financial support by the California Department of Transportation and Pacific Gas & Electric Company is greatly appreciated.
