  • 2025 CAEES-ACGPS AGM

    Zoom Webinar

    Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Canadian Association of Earthquake Engineering and Seismology / L’Association Canadienne du Génie Parasismique et de la Sismologie for 2025.  

  • Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Short Course

    Zoom Webinar

    The course provides participants with a basic knowledge and understanding of the fundamental concepts in geotechnical earthquake engineering, including the key issues related to dynamic soil properties, local site effects and seismic site response analysis, soil liquefaction during earthquakes and the related assessments, seismic slope stability, basics of seismic soil-structure interaction, and seismic design of […]

  • Geospatial Technology: Saving the World’s Past, Present, and Future from Natural Hazards

    UBC Robson Square, Room C400 800 Robson St., Vancouver, BC, Canada

    EERI-BC is pleased to announce that Michael Olsen (M.EERI 2004) is the recipient of the 2024 EERI Distinguished Lecture Award in recognition of his pioneering work applying geomatics to identify spatial geologic seismic hazards as well as risks to distributed systems. The task of maintaining resilient infrastructure against the onslaught of natural hazards often feels […]

  • SCEC (Statewide California Earthquake Center) Annual Meeting

    Berkeley, CA

    The Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC) is a collaborative research and education hub that brings together experts across geoscience and related fields to advance our understanding of earthquake processes and apply that knowledge to reduce their impacts on society in California and beyond. Each year, the SCEC Annual Meeting convenes a global community involved in earthquake-related research, education, and […]

  • John Hart Dam Seismic Upgrade: A Robust Seepage Barrier for Cascadia Megathrust Resilience

    Zoom Webinar

    Abstract The John Hart Dam, constructed in the late 1940s on Vancouver Island, required upgrades to address seismic vulnerabilities and ensure resilience against a potential magnitude M9 mega earthquake originating from the nearby Cascadia Subduction Zone. The Middle Earthfill Dam (MED), one of three earthfill structures at the site, was determined to be at risk […]

  • Environmental Seismology: Earth’s Surface and Subsurface Hazards, Dynamics and Resources

    Denver, CO

    Researchers are turning increasingly to multidisciplinary studies to better understand a variety of planetary processes, with seismology at the forefront of providing new tools and vital insights in this endeavor. This 2025 topical meeting from SSA invites studies of seismic and acoustical phenomena, as well as presentation of data processing and analysis methods, relative to […]

  • Overview of NRC’s Newly Released Seismic Evaluation Guidelines (SEG) for Existing Buildings in Canada

    Zoom Webinar

    Abstract Earthquakes are among the most destructive natural disasters, capable of causing severe casualties and significant economic losses. For building owners, assessing and mitigating seismic risks in existing buildings poses both technical and economic challenges. In Canada, there has long been a need for nationwide technical guidelines for seismic evaluation and upgrading. The National Research […]

  • Workshop Series on Seismic Geotechnical Engineering

    Virtual Workshop

    Overview: A series of five virtual workshops on Seismic Geotechnical Engineering with both state-of-the-art theories and practical applications The Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division (SMFD) of the CGS is mandated to promote the practice and research in classic geotechnical engineering and to provide professional development opportunities to members and colleagues. The SMFD executive committee is […]
