Dear All,

Asia-Pacific Region Earthquake and Volcanic Hazard Mapping Meeting at COV8

Date: Sep. 10 (Wed), 18:30-19:30 (-20:00 in maximum)

Place: Room R3, First Floor, Grha Sabha Permana, Universitas Gadjah
Mada, Yogyakarta

Meeting, 6.I.D)

Purpose of the meeting:
The G-EVER Asia-Pacific region earthquake and volcanic hazard mapping
project aims to develop an advanced online information system that
provides past and recent earthquake and volcanic eruption information
(e.g. age, location, scale, affected areas and fatalities) and risk
assessment tools for earthquake and volcanic eruption hazards. A printed
map version will also be published as the new version of the Eastern
Asia Geological Hazard Map of the Commission for the Geological Map of
the World (CGMW). The online Asia-Pacific region earthquake and volcanic
hazard information system provides useful information about earthquake
and volcanic hazards in an interactive and user-friendly interface. Past
and recent large-scale earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, tsunami
inundation areas, active faults distributions, and major landslides are
going to be shown on the map. Links to major earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions databases are already available in the preliminary system. The
earthquake and volcanic eruption hazard mapping project is planning to
be implemented with the cooperation of major research institutes and
organizations in the Asia-Pacific region such as PHIVOLCS (Philippine),
CVGHM (Indonesia), GNS Science (New Zealand), EOS (Singapore), USGS
(USA) and CCOP (Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programmes in East
and Southeast Asia). A preliminary hazard information website
collaborating with CVGHM is under construction. Volcano type, category,
satellite image, hazard map, geological map, eruption history, hazard
history and reference of active volcanoes can be displayed on this
system. We would like to discuss about the contents and strategy of the
earthquake and volcanic hazard information system and future plan for
the hazard and risk data compilation in Asia-Pacific region.

A preliminary version of the Asia-Pacific Region Earthquake and Volcanic
Hazard Information System is available.
