Natural Hazards Center || Abstract Form

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the 2025 Researchers Meeting. It will be held July 16-17, 2025, immediately following the close of the 50th Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop.

We invite researchers from all disciplines to submit abstracts focused on any topic related to hazards and disasters. Researchers Meeting submissions are due by February 28, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. MST.

There are two ways to contribute to the Researchers Meeting:

Present your Research. In this format, speakers will have 10 to 12 minutes to share their research using PowerPoint slides, with an additional 3 to 5 minutes for audience Q&A. Presentations will be organized into concurrent sessions featuring 4 to 6 presentations on a common topic. Please complete the form below if you are interested in submitting an abstract to present original research at the Researchers Meeting.
Lead a Roundtable Discussion. Roundtables are discussion-based and will be centered around the topic that you describe in your submission. Rather than presenting scholarly research material, roundtable organizers will facilitate a dialogue with the audience on a key research-focused thematic area. If you are interested in leading a Roundtable Discussion, please complete the Roundtable Discussion Form.

Abstract (Limit 250 words)

Please submit a research abstract that describes your project or paper. Include key research questions, methods, results, and practical implications.
