SUMMARY:ANNUAL SPIRITUAL ECOLOGY LECTURE 2024
DESCRIPTION:Living with Earthquakes in the Himalaya: What can Science do to help?\nDate: Tuesday\, 5th November 2024\nTime: 06:00 PM – 08:00 PM (IST)\nVenue: Lecture Room – 2\, Annexe Building\, TIC\, New Delhi\nLivestream: Tibet House YouTube Channel \nOverview:\nEarthquakes remain a significant concern\, particularly in rapidly expanding urban areas within seismic zones. Despite extensive research on earthquake-prone regions like the Mediterranean to the Himalayas\, cities continue to face considerable risks. The urgent question: how can science contribute to reducing these risks and enhancing public safety? \nJoin us for the Annual Spiritual Ecology Lecture where James Jackson\, Emeritus Professor from the University of Cambridge\, will explore these challenges and discuss solutions. Focusing on earthquake science and public safety in the Himalayas\, this lecture highlights the need for collaboration among scientists\, civic leaders\, and the public. The talk will also delve into the limitations of predicting earthquakes and instead focus on mitigation\, preparedness\, and education. \nAbstract:\nThe Himalayan earthquake belt is well-studied\, yet urban growth in vulnerable areas has not significantly reduced earthquake risks. This lecture will emphasize the importance of public safety and preparedness\, the limitations of short-term earthquake predictions\, and the value of collaboration between scientists and policymakers. James Jackson will share insights from his collaborative work with Indian colleagues in the NW Himalayas\, aiming to improve earthquake risk reduction through knowledge exchange. \n\nAbout the Speaker:\nJames Jackson is an Emeritus Professor in Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge. His expertise spans continental development and deformation\, focusing on seismology\, geodesy\, and Quaternary geology. With extensive fieldwork across Asia\, the Mediterranean\, Africa\, and beyond\, Jackson is dedicated to reducing earthquake risks in developing countries. He co-led the “Earthquakes Without Frontiers” project\, fostering international collaboration to enhance earthquake risk reduction. \nEvent Details:\n\nDate: Tuesday\, 5th November 2024\nTime: 06:00 PM – 08:00 PM (IST)\nVenue: Lecture Room – 2\, Annexe Building\, TIC\, New Delhi\nLivestream: Tibet House YouTube Channel\n\nRegister for the Event:\nTo attend in person\, please register here.\nFor any queries\, contact us at:\n📧 programmes@tibethouse.in\n📞 +91-8447218959 \nFollow us on social media for updates:\n@TibetHouse
