Researchers Meeting Roundtable Submission 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:

  1. 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. If you are interested in submitting an abstract to present original research at the Researchers Meeting, please complete the Abstract Submission Form.
  2. 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. Please complete the form below if you are interested in leading a Roundtable Discussion.
