Title:
Geospatial Technology Saving the World's Past, Present, and Future from Natural Hazards
Presenter:
Dr. Michael Olsen, Professor of Geomatics, Oregon State University
Abstract:
This presentation explores examples of how expanded and effective usage of geospatial technologies now can help us proactively save the world through detailed mapping of our critical lifeline infrastructure to improve 1) monitoring, modeling, and analysis efforts to more precisely identify vulnerable infrastructure, 2) planning for and understanding the potential impacts and damage extents associated with multiple hazards, 3) the conduct of post-disaster reconnaissance, damage assessments, and rebuilding efforts, and 4) digital preservation of infrastructure and other resources with significant cultural and historical importance that are unlikely to withstand major seismic forces lurking on the horizon. Ultimately, geospatial technology serves as the unifying glue to enable meaningful collaboration between science, engineering, and public policy necessary for a resilient society capable of effectively responding and adapting to natural hazards.
