Abstract: 0608836On October 8, 2005 a severe earthquake of Mw 7.6 struck the northern region ofPakistan, which lies near the western edge of the seismically active Himalayan arc, causing more than 87,000 deaths, two million homeless and extensive damage to buildings and transportation networks. The relief, recovery, and reconstruction cost of this devastating earthquake could possibly top 10 billion dollars.Aside from the tragic loss of life and property, the Kashmir earthquake offers a unique opportunity for the U.S. researchers to benchmark their system level, integrated earthquake consequence-minimization models as well as assist the Pakistani research community in defining and strengthening their embryonic earthquake hazard mitigation effort. It is proposed to organize a joint workshop between the U.S. researchers, particularly those affected by high consequence-low probability earthquakes, and their Pakistani counterparts in Islamabad in March 2006. The primary purpose of the workshop is to help define and prioritize the seismic risk mitigation agenda for Pakistan and to share knowledge, expertise, and the field measurements and damage assessment data. Establishing research relationships, institutional linkages and educational exchanges will also be important goals of this initiative. A report defining the critical research and development needs and identifying specific collaborative research initiatives will be published at the conclusion of the workshop. The proposed workshop will offer the U.S. researchers and their Pakistani counterparts a unique opportunity to better understand the relationship between the immediate rescue, relief, and reconstruction demands and the long term sustainable mitigation efforts required following a massive disaster. It will also help thread an integrated view of the source to society issues and provide a test bed for the system level earthquake consequence minimization applications developed in the U.S. The workshop will set forth a strategic blue print for long term collaborative research and educational initiatives between the two countries that will serve a much desired human need as well as further the research and professional development in the U.S. Funds are requested from the National Science Foundation to support the participation of the U.S. researchers. The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan has committed to providing Funds for the local participants and the expenses related to hosting the workshop. The OISE program at NSF is co-funding the U.S. participation along with the SSHMS program of the CMS Division.

摘要：0608836ON 2005年10月8日，MW 7.6的严重地震袭击了北部地区的北部地区，该地区位于地震活跃的喜马拉雅弧的西部边缘附近，造成了87,000多人死亡，200万多个无家可归者和对建筑物和运输网络的无家可归和广泛的破坏。这场毁灭性地震的缓解，恢复和重建成本可能可能会占100亿美元。从悲剧性的生命和财产中丧失，克什米尔地震为美国研究人员提供了一个独特的机会，可以为他们的系统水平做一个独特的机会，使地震范围的地震范围融合了地震范围，并帮助Pakistani研究模型，并有助于Pakistani研究社区，并促进了他们的范围，以确定其范围的范围。有人建议在2006年3月在伊斯兰堡举行的美国研究人员之间组织一个联合研讨会，尤其是那些受到高后果的概率地震以及他们在伊斯兰堡的巴基斯坦对应物的联合研讨会。研讨会的主要目的是有助于定义和优先级别的降级和分享知识量和擅长的衡量标准，并损害知识的数据，并损害了知识，并损害了宗教级别的数据。建立研究关系，机构联系和教育交流也将是该计划的重要目标。 定义批判性研究和发展需求并确定特定协作研究计划的报告将在研讨会的结束时发表。 拟议的研讨会将为美国的研究人员及其巴基斯坦同行提供一个独特的机会，以更好地了解即时救援，救济和重建需求与大规模灾难后所需的长期可持续缓解工作之间的关系。它还将帮助将源头的整体视野纳入社会问题，并为在美国开发的系统级地震后果提供最小化的应用，为长期协作研究和教育举措提供战略性的蓝图，这些蓝图将为美国的研究人员提供进一步的研究和专业的研究，以支持美国的参与基金会，以进一步满足人类的需求，并为美国的专业发展提供了进一步的研究和专业发展。 巴基斯坦高等教育委员会致力于为当地参与者提供资金，以及与主持研讨会有关的费用。 NSF的OISE计划与CMS部门的SSHMS计划共同资助了美国的参与。
