Members
Our assembled team of researchers brings together the strengths in hazard research (flood, wind, tornadoes, hailstorms, earthquakes, tsunamis, and wildfire) as well as the strengths in academic fields that cut cross these hazards, including structure/infrastructure and resilience engineering, remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS), big data science, statistical/computational techniques, and actuarial/financial risk assessments. A list of qualified research team members available at 澳门六合彩开奖预测 demonstrates commitments to hazard and risk research.
