Haneberg and KGS Geologic Hazards Section Head Zhenming Wang were visiting several locations in China, presenting technical lectures about landslide and earthquake hazard assessment to Chinese researchers.ĭuring the exchange program, which has included several institutes of China’s Earthquake Administration, KGS researchers and UK faculty and students have visited China, and Chinese researchers have come to UK, to collect and exchange seismic data, assist with field work, maintain seismic instruments, and participate in seminars on earthquake issues.ĭuring the past year, Chinese researchers involved in the exchange also wrote papers accepted for publication in the Journal of Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering and the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America.īoth UK and the Chinese institutes have seen benefits from the program. State Geologist and KGS Director Bill Haneberg signed the memorandum with Lanmin Wang, director of the Lanzhou Institute of Seismology, China Earthquake Administration.
