This work is being undertaken as part of a major GCRF Hub. It is not possible to list all the stakeholders and researchers involved, so I have limited the list below to key players I have been interacting with in the seismic hazard work.

Dr Karim Tarbali (UCL/Edinburgh): Physics based simulation PDRA

Himanshu Agrawal (PhD Edinburgh/UCL):

Farnaz Kamranzad (PhD Edinburgh):

Dr Deepak Chamlagain (Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu): Seismic hazard in Kathmandu WP lead

Dr Ramesh Guragain (NSET, Kathmandu):

Prof Hugh Sinclair: Kathmandu City Lead

Prof John McCloskey: Tomorrow’s City’s Hub Lead

Prof Carmine Glasso (UCL): Wave simulation and Risk Lead

Dr Mark Naylor

Funding
