ProfessorJamie Howarth

I co-convened this international MagellanPlus workshop at National Taiwan University, bringing together 80 scientists from 12 countries to advance subaqueous palaeoseismology at active plate boundaries. The workshop integrated lake, terrestrial and marine sediment records to better constrain earthquake recurrence, rupture processes and seismic hazard. It combined scientific presentations, field activities and proposal development, building new international collaborations and developing future scientific drilling initiatives spanning land-to-sea earthquake records.

The Joint NNW–MTMOD Workshop at Alpine Lodge, St Arnaud brought together 30 researchers, the majority international, to advance the state of the art in multi-cycle earthquake simulation and validation. Jointly supported by MBIE and the US National Science Foundation, the workshop compared leading modelling approaches, benchmarked simulator performance, and examined fault interactions and earthquake sequences. It strengthened international collaboration and helped align future development of next-generation tools for seismic hazard and cascading-risk assessment.
