Please join EERI and partners for a one-day seminar on the Next Generation Attenuation Relationships for Central & Eastern North – America (NGA – East). At this seminar that is geared toward both researchers and practitioners, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the database, methodology, and models of the NGA-East project. Attendees will be able to conduct improvised probabilistic seismic hazard analyses in the Central and Eastern North American (CENA) region.
NGA-East is a multi-disciplinary research project coordinated by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research center (PEER), with headquarters at the University of California, Berkeley. The project involves a large number of participating researchers from various organizations in academia, industry, and government. The project is jointly sponsored by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
