AB: California has undertaken a serious attempt to reduce loss of life and property by developing applied research products that are readily useful to engineers, planners, earth scientists and decision makers. The type and degree of complexity of the products vary according to application. This presentation will provide a overview of applied research activities including but limited to: an update on the Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) models overall program activities; potential for the application of NGA models outside of California: development update for the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast Model; a preview of the California Seismic Safety Commission's planned Earthquake Research Grant Program; and a update on the Tall Buildings Initiative with respect to potential contributions from the GeoSciences community. The presentation will conclude with a general discussion with a limited discussion on potential public policy issues related to the research.
