Natural Hazards Research Summit 2024: CONVERGE: Social Science, Engineering, and Interdisciplinary Extreme Events Research

This poster highlights the activities of the National Science Foundation-supported CONVERGE facility. CONVERGE, which was established in 2018 as the first social science-led component of the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) for the U.S., is concerned with advancing convergence research for the hazards and disaster field while training and mentoring a diverse next generation of researchers. It brings together and coordinates large networks of researchers from geotechnical engineering, the social sciences, structural engineering, nearshore science, operations and systems engineering, environmental engineering, public health, and interdisciplinary science and engineering. This poster summarizes CONVERGE resources including training modules, extreme events research check sheets, publications, communications, and the data ambassadors program.
