Geo-INQUIRE training activities

Two new training activities within Geo-INQUIRE (Geosphere INfrastructures for QUestions into Integrated REsearch) is open this autumn. First training session on EPOS Metadata Training within Geo-INQUIRE and second on ETRiS - Geo-INQUIRE online training course: Empirical fragility and vulnerability curves for risk analysis

EPOS Metadata Training within Geo-INQUIRE 

Date and time: Thursday, 19 October 2023, from 10:00 to 12:00 CET

Location: Virtual training course

Speakers: Rossana Paciello and Daniele Bailo

Scope: The training offers an exploration of metadata and their critical role within the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) Research Infrastructure. It will focus on how metadata, combined with semantics, contributes to data interoperability and accessibility in a federated, web-service-based distributed infrastructure encompassing diverse scientific domains within EPOS.

ETRiS - Geo-INQUIRE online training course: Empirical fragility and vulnerability curves for risk analysis (VA2-35-1)

Date and time: Monday and Tuesday, 6 and 7 November 2023, from 9:00 to 11:00 CET

Location: Virtual training course

We have in program training and user testing for European Tsunami Risk Service(VA2-35-1)(https://eurotsunamirisk.org/) datasets: Empirical Risk Products –Fragility and Vulnerability Curves. This is a two-day virtual user-testing and training, hosted by University College London‘s Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction, taking place on Monday and Tuesday, 6 and 7 November 2023, from 9:00 to 11:00 Central European Time (CET). This two-day course marks UN’s World Tsunami Awareness day on 5th of November. It is, however, to note that the skills and know-how covered by this course are applicable to any kind of natural hazard (e.g., seismic, flood, hurricane, etc).

Excellent science is enabled and enriched through making the relevant scientific research tools and results directly accessible to the scientific communities and the civil societies. The European Tsunami Risk Service (ETRiS) aims to collect, harmonise and make available tsunami risk related data (e.g., impact, damage, consequences), data products (e.g., fragility and vulnerability curves), software, and services in a way that they are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable by a broad user base. The European Tsunami Risk Service is part of the candidate Thematic Core Service for tsunami and is integrated into the Integrated Core Service Data Portal of the European Plate Observing System (EPOS).

The learning goals of this training are:

  • To get familiar with the underlying concepts of probabilistic hazard and risk analysis assuming a Homogenous Poisson Process;
  • To get an overview of empirical fragility assessment, uncertainty treatment, and fragility model selection using generalised regression models;
  • To learn how to derive vulnerability functions based on fragility curves and consequence models
  • To use data products such as fragility and vulnerability curves for probabilistic risk analysis;

ETRiS and Geo-INQUIRE welcome anyone interested in learning about these concepts and tools, particularly early-career students, researchers, and catastroph modellers.
