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.
