Helen Crowley Keywords earthquake engineering resilience learning month managing risks climate change DRRM Read more about Helen Crowley Helen graduated with an MEng in Civil Engineering from Imperial College London in 2000 and after working for a year as a graduate engineer, she moved to Italy to complete her MSc and PhD degrees in earthquake engineering at the University of Pavia (ROSE School). Helen worked as a researcher in seismic risk at the EUCENTRE from 2006 to 2009, after which she moved to the GEM Foundation (hosted at EUCENTRE) to coordinate seismic risk activities at a global scale.
Matt Gerstenberger Keywords resilience learning month managing risks climate change DRRM earthquake seismic Read more about Matt Gerstenberger Matt is a seismologist who focuses on earthquake forecasting and seismic hazard modeling. His role at GNS is twofold: he leads the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) - a scientific model that uses geodetic modeling and historical earthquake data to estimate the likelihood and strength of earthquake shaking in different parts of New Zealand. The NSHM is widely used by government and industry to estimate the likely impact of earthquakes on the country’s land, buildings, and infrastructure.

Pushing the Limits: Scaling up Adaptation to Minimize Loss and Damage Read more about Pushing the Limits: Scaling up Adaptation to Minimize Loss and Damage This presentation gives an overview of how specific areas of investments in climate and disaster resilience can help push the limits and thereby help countries minimize and address loss and damage.
Jon Barnett Keywords resilience learning month managing risks climate change DRRM Read more about Jon Barnett Jon Barnett is a political geographer whose research investigates social impacts and responses to environmental change. He has over twenty years of experience conducting field-based research on social vulnerability and adaptation to climate change in Australia, China, Timor-Leste, and Pacific Island Countries. Jon's research has helped explain the impacts of climate change on cultures, food security, inequality, instability, migration, and water security, and how adaptation can promote social justice and peace.
