| 364-1058-00L | Risk Center Seminar Series | 0 credits | 2S | G. Sansavini, D. Basin, A. Bommier, D. N. Bresch, L.‑E. Cederman, P. Cheridito, H. Gersbach, F. Schweitzer, D. Sornette, B. Stojadinovic, B. Sudret, U. A. Weidmann, S. Wiemer, M. Zeilinger, R. Zenklusen | |
| Abstract | This course is a mixture between a seminar primarily for PhD and postdoc students and a colloquium involving invited speakers. It consists of presentations and subsequent discussions in the area of modeling and governing complex socio-economic systems, and managing risks and crises. Students and other guests are welcome. | ||||
| Objective | Participants should learn to get an overview of the state of the art in the field, to present it in a well understandable way to an interdisciplinary scientific audience, to develop novel mathematical models and approaches for open problems, to analyze them with computers or other means, and to defend their results in response to critical questions. In essence, participants should improve their scientific skills and learn to work scientifically on an internationally competitive level. | ||||
| Content | This course is a mixture between a seminar primarily for PhD and postdoc students and a colloquium involving invited speakers. It consists of presentations and subsequent discussions in the area of modeling complex socio-economic systems and crises. For details of the program see the webpage of the seminar.

| Lecture notes | There is no script, but the sessions will be recorded and be made available. Transparencies of the presentations may be put on the course webpage. | ||||
| Literature | Literature will be provided by the speakers in their respective presentations. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Participants should have relatively good scientific, in particular mathematical skills and some experience of how scientific work is performed. | ||||
| 669-0300-00L | Spring Course: Earthquake Safety in Integral Natural Hazard Management  Only for CAS in Angewandten Erdwissenschaften. | 2 credits | 2G | S. Wiemer, D. Fäh, F. Glüer | |
| Abstract | The course provides an overview of how the disciplines of seismology, geology and earthquake engineering interact in the assessment of seismic hazard and mitigation through earthquake-resistant construction. Different methods for site characterisation as well as the input data and guidelines necessary for earthquake-resistant design are highlighted in the course. | ||||
| Objective | Participants are able to describe the role of handling earthquake hazards within the framework of integral natural hazard management and discuss earthquake-induced natural hazards. | ||||
| 669-0301-00L | Project Module: Geo-Risks Only for CAS in Angewandten Erdwissenschaften. | 2 credits | 1S | S. Wiemer, S. Löw, H. Willenberg | |
| Abstract | In the project module of the module group Geo-Risks the participants create a common course script for the spring and autumn course in online cooperation. | ||||
