PhD: Dynamic risk modelling
Building resilience to future earthquake sequences through dynamic risk modelling
Funded PhD position at the University of Canterbury
Summary
As part of the Ngā Ngaru Wakapuke research programme, this Ph.D. project aims to develop new approaches to model dynamic risk to people and critical infrastructure by advancing current static approaches to risk and loss modelling. The project will involve modelling of casualties and infrastructure damage states accounting for fragility through time, interdependencies, and phased restoration. It will generate datasets that feed into household and economic impact models, and will use earthquake sequence scenarios developed elsewhere in the research project.
PhD commencement on or before 1 April 2025, the position will remain open until filled.
