Keynote speaker Program
Mary Lou Zoback, Consulting Professor, Stanford University
Dr. Zoback is a seismologist and a consulting professor in the Geophysics Department at Stanford University. From 2006 to 2011, she was Vice President for Earthquake Risk Applications with Risk Management Solutions, a private catastrophe-modeling firm serving the insurance industry. In that role, she utilized the company's commercial risk models to explore the societal role of earthquake insurance and to quantify the costs and benefits of risk reduction. She previously was a senior research scientist at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California, where she served, among other positions, as Chief Scientist of the Western Earthquake Hazards team. Her research interests include the relationship between active faulting, deformation and state of stress in the earth's crust, quantifying earthquake likelihood, and characterizing natural-hazard risk. Also Featuring Carey Gazis | Geological Sciences Timothy Melbourne | Seismic Expert and Geodesist Warren Plugge | Heavy Civil/Construction Management Mike Pease | Geographer Ethan Bergman | Public Health/Nutritionist Anne Egger | Geologist and Science Educator Pam McMullin-‐‑Messier | Sociologist John Bowen | Geographer and Transportation Expert Roy Savoian | Economist and Enterpreneur Toni Sipic | Hazards Economist Carlo Smith | Business Continuity and Supply Chain Yvonne Chueh | Actuarial Science
Networking | Welcome | Keynote At 8 AM start your day with a light breakfast and beverages along with fellow faculty, staff and regional community members. At 9 AM, Dr. Timothy Melbourne will open the day-‐‑long conference and introduce speaker Dr. Mary Lou Zoback (keynote 9:15-‐‑9:50) speaking about Increasing Resilience to Natural Hazard Risk.
Panel 1 | 10-‐‑11:45 AM Our first panel of speakers will present the science behind seismic hazards prediction, adaptation and resilience within the context of the built environment. Moderator: Carey Gazis. Presenters: Dr. Timothy Melbourne; Dr. Warren Plugge; and Dr. Mike Pease
Panel 2 | 1:15-‐‑3:00 PM
This third and final panel talks about education and the societal response; and the resilience of people and place. Moderator: Ethan Bergman. Presenters: Anne Egger; Pam McMullin-‐‑Messier; and John Bowen
The second panel discusses how seismic hazards impact decision-‐‑making. Moderator: Roy Savoian. Presenters: Toni Sipic, Yvonne Chueh and Carlo Smith.
