Workshop on Effects of Surface Geology on Seismic Motion

July 11, 2003 at KKR Hotel Sapporo, Phoenix room

Meeting Program

Scope : Workshop will provide us common understandings on current issues and future targets of earthquake ground motion predictions with strong concerns on the effects of surface geology on seismic motion. Discussions and exchanges of ideas will be focused on the new direction of "Renewal Working Group of ESG" with summarizing the activities of IASPEI/IAEE Joint Working Group on ESG since 1987.
