2023 Kenji Ishihara Colloquium Session 1: Ground Motion Findings and Implications for Updates

EERI's San Diego Chapter presents the 2023 Kenji Ishihara Colloquium: Advancing Earthquake Engineering in the Wake of the Turkey-Syria Earthquake. In this webinar series, researchers, expert engineers, and social scientists came together in this Kenji Ishihara colloquium to discuss structural engineering and the far-reaching social implications of the 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Turkey Earthquake Sequence. Speakers shared their insights on the lessons learned from the Turkey earthquake and how these are shaping the future of earthquake engineering, disaster preparedness, and response to enhance engineering practices and expedite seismic functional recovery. In this session: "Future Impacts of Ground Motions from the February 6, 2023 Türkiye Earthquake Sequence" Tristan Buckreis, PhD, Postdoctoral Research Scholar, UCLA "Bridging the Gap: Understanding Turkey's February 6 Earthquake Ground Motions through a Structural Lens" Osman Ozbulut, PhD, Professor, University of Virginia "Investigation of Damage Potential of Ground Motions of the 6 February 2023 Pazarcik Turkey Earthquake by Developing Spatial Distribution of Inelastic Spectra" Esra Zengin, PhD, Research Scientist, UCLA "Characterization of Source, Path and Site Effects on Ground Motions From the 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, Earthquake Sequence" Grace Parker, PhD, USGS Research Geophysicist
