Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) East Seminar
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.
