MAE Center Mission

The mission of the MAE Center is to develop through research, and to disseminate through education and outreach, new integrated approaches necessary to minimize the consequences of future earthquakes across hazard-prone regions, including but not limited to, the eastern and central United States. Integrated interdisciplinary research synthesizing damage across regions, estimating seismic vulnerability across regional and national networks, and identifying seismic hazard forms the core research activities needed to develop such consequence-based approaches and to support stakeholder interests in seismic risk assessment and mitigation.
