Important topics related to earthquake hazard

Calling for Bi-lateral collaboration

Methodology for seismic intensity zonation

• Lesson of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake• Inclusion of geology and paleo-seismology• Communicating with engineering communitie

s• Strong ground motion studies• Probabilistic versus deterministic zonation

Earthquake prediction test site

• Tradition of joint studies related to earthquake prediction test site

• New technologies capturing the time-dependent variation of earth structure: from ‘repeating events’ to active source

• New technologies capturing the properties of earthquake fault

• Hybrid concept of ‘observation’ and ‘experiment’: new trends of seismology

Toward forward forecast tests

• Test of forecast schemes by forward forecast test

• Aftershock probability assessment immediately after strong earthquakes: importance and feasibility

• Annual Consultation Meeting on the Likelihood of Earthquakes: Niandu (Annual) Dizhen (Eart

hquake) Qushi (Probability/trend) Huishang (Consultatio
