Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

Summer Research Experience at the London Mathematical Laboratory (2 projects in earthquake hazards)

Date: 01/23/2018

On Behalf of Max Werner, University of Bristol:
---------------------------------------------------------------

Dear SCEC community,

Applications are now invited from current undergraduate and postgraduate students for the 2018 Summer School at the London Mathematical Laboratory. The summer research experience will run from Monday 23rd July to Friday 17th August 2018. Successful applicants will carry out a four-week research project under supervision at LML. Travel to and from London, accommodation and a stipend of £1000 will be provided. The deadline for applications is Friday 23rd February 2018.

Two projects are particularly relevant to students interested in earthquake forecasting, seismic and other natural hazards, and model evaluation:

1) Risk and return: the gambler’s approach to evaluating the skill of natural hazard forecasts.
Supervised by Jiancang Zhuang (Institute of Statistical Mathematics, Tokyo, Japan) and Max Werner (University of Bristol, UK)

2) Evaluation of model performance in climate and earthquake hazard prediction.
Supervised by Max Werner (University of Bristol, UK) and Erica Thompson (London School of Economics, UK)

Full details at http://lml.org.uk/events/summer-school/summer-school-2018/

For informal enquires, please contact me or the other named supervisors.

Best regards
Max Werner

Want to send an announcement to the SCEC community?
SCEC community announcement requests should be sent to scecinfo@usc.edu (no attachments) with the following requirements, in order to best standardize announcements and provide maximum security for recipients. These requirements also ensure that various email applications and any applied filters reach the recipient as the announcement was intended.
1) Use this style guide :
• All text must be in Helvetica, 12 pt.
• Bold, italics, and underline formatting is permitted.
• Consider the length of web links; use bit.ly or tinyurl.com to shorten them as needed.
• NO PDFs, Word Docs, images, or other attachments - all content must be in the email request itself.
2) Include a subject line.

3) Remember, send your request to scecinfo@usc.edu.

We strive to send announcements as soon as possible. In general, expect a 2-3 business day turn-around. We may also combine announcements with others, delay sending certain announcements due to current events, and even reject requests if they do not fit the needs of the SCEC community.
