Researchers Meeting Information

All sessions will be held VIRTUALLY this year!

The Natural Hazards Center and CONVERGE, in partnership with the International Research Committee on Disasters (ISA-RC39), will convene a research meeting on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 15 and through the day on Thursday, July 16 following the 45th Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop.

Theme

The 2020 Researchers Meeting will focus on the theme of The Data Revolution: Ethical Imperatives and Methodological Considerations for Hazards and Disaster Research, with a program that will identify pressing research needs, focus on new data technologies and capabilities, and tackle enduring and emergent ethical and methodological considerations concerning why we collect data, what we measure, who we collect data from, and how we gather and share data. The meeting will include plenary and breakout sessions for paper presentations and virtual networking opportunities for participants.

This meeting is open to all members of the hazards and disasters community.
