Prof. Nweke was invited to present on recent research investigations centered on “Quantifying the Causal Effect Between Seismic Site Response and Local-to-REgional Site Conditions: Sedimentary Basin Amplification and Relational Ground Motion Database”. The presentation was an invited speaking engagement for the New Zealand Centre for Earthquake Resilience (QuakeCoRE). QuakeCoRE aims to establish and link multi-institutional national research programmes that are internationally networked. The research programmes will advance the science and implementation pathways of earthquake resilience through system-level science with highly integrated collaborations coordinated across the physical, engineering and social sciences and relevant research institutions. Our research is organised into Disciplinary Themes, Inter-disciplinary Programmes and the Coordination Mechanisms of Technology Megatrend Capability Areas and Regional Network Areas (more information here). The groups involved were the Inter-disciplinary Program 1 (IP1: Functional Recovery with Repairable Multi-Story Buildings) and Program 2 (IP2: Thriving Residential Communities). Prof. Nweek was invited/hosted by Prof. Alice Chang-Richards, Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Auckland.
