Buffalo, NY – Earthquake engineers and researchers will have plenty to talk about at the annual Quake Summit being held in Buffalo later this week.
The earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan are on the agenda for Thursday's opening session and are sure to fuel discussions as the conference goes on.
The summit combines the annual meetings of the University at Buffalo's earthquake research center and the George E. Brown Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation funded by the National Science Foundation.
There are 100 presentations planned on the latest research in earthquake engineering.
More than 200 experts and students from the United States and abroad are expected to attend.
The Quake Summit runs from Thursday through Saturday at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center and Hyatt Regency in downtown Buffalo.
