Data Intensive Systems Analysis for Geohazard Studies

From researchers, computer experts and observers to technical end-users and decision makers: the international conference in the Sochi Olympic Village brings together experts, academics and practitioners, to discuss the detection of natural and man-made hazards by applying systems analysis. Sophisticated data analysis and a holistic Earth science approach are crucial to draw comprehensive information from hazards of extreme conditions. 

The conference which is co-chaired by Professor Dr. Pavel Kabat (IIASA Director General and CEO) and Academician Professor Alexei Gvishiani (Director of Geophysical Center of RAS and IIASA’s Council Member for Russia), and co-organized by IIASA, the Geophysical Center RAS and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, is the fifth in a series of meetings dedicated to applied systems analysis – the last conference in 2013 in Kaluga was co-organized by IIASA and the Russian Academy of Sciences. A special focus of interest at this years’ important scientific event is the vast and rapid transformation of the Arctic and it surrounding areas. A proposed IIASA Arctic Futures Initiatives workshop as part of the conference will bring these ongoing changes and increasing pressures to attention.
