Aims and Perspectives

The committee’s purpose is to foster international co-operation in development of novel and efficient numerical methods for geo-disaster assessment. The main objectives of the committee are to enhance the theory and algorithm of the numerical methods, to improve their accuracy and efficiency and to develop user-friendly software. The main tasks of the committee are to exchange technical information and to promote collaboration between research, development, engineering and regulatory organisations; to review operating experience and the state of knowledge on selected topics of geo-hazard modelling and mitigation techniques; to disseminates widely the advances of the development of numerical methods and the examples of their applications; to initiate and conduct programmes to train beginners of numerical simulations and the new numerical methods.
