2023 NHERI GSC Mini-Conference Proceedings

The 2023 NHERI GSC Mini-Conference was born out of a desire to share work with fellow graduate students in the natural hazards field. With the climate change crisis, intensifying and increasing disasters, combined with the growing awareness that social and historical disadvantage shapes inequalities in how people experience and are able to adapt to and recover from environmental hazards, there is an incredible demand for innovative and interdisciplinary work that graduate students are on the cutting edge of producing. This virtual conference offered the space to share work, find potential collaborators, and celebrate the successes of our peers. The hard work of these graduate students in natural hazards is recorded here in our first annual NHERI GSC MIni-Conference Proceedings. Here you can explore work from graduate students in civil and environmental engineering, sociology, demography, public health, and other fields in natural hazards discussing multidisciplinary perspectives on resilience, recovery, and risk as well as participants from the first NHERI GSC Interdisciplinary Research Challenge.
