NORSAR is co-sponsoring the International Training Course on Seismology, Seismic Data Analysis, Hazard Assessment and Risk Mitigation to be held in Heredia (Costa Rica) between October 27 and November 28, 2008.
These training courses are annually conducted by GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (GFZ Potsdam) and are part of the educational and training program of the UNESCO in the field of geosciences and disaster mitigation. They are a major German contribution of the United Nations International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR,1990 - 1999) and of respective follow-up programs such as the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction ISDR. They provide theoretical fundamentals and practical training in applied seismology, especially for geoscientists and technicians from developing countries. The program is particularly useful for seismological station and network operators, data interpreters and those concerned with seismic zoning and hazard assessment. Among Germany's Federal Foreign Office (AA Berlin), UNESCO (Paris), and InWent (Berlin), NORSAR is co-sponsoring the workshop through accomplishing a series of lectures on seismic risk and loss assessment.
