30 years since the 1996 Chimbote tsunami (Peru). On this anniversary, we’re launching the GTEM website — soon to be a practitioner-oriented hub for tsunami evacuation modeling resources + documentation.

@Paul_Nelson_EK @NotionHQ In my experience @NotionHQ and @NotionMail have assisted me very quick many times. Do not just give up yet it is a very neat product.

📢 Paper Alert!

Want to know how you could compute probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) 1000 times faster? ⚡

My Ph.D. student, SoungEil Houng, and I just published a paper introducing adaptive importance sampling (AIS) PSHA in the Bulletin of the @SeismoSocietyAm. 🚀
