One of the ideologists of the conference, Professor\u00a0James Jackson<\/strong>\u00a0explained that \u201cone of its major goals is to generalize the results of the latest research on the nature of earthquakes, escaping threats and active tectonics in Central Asia\u201d. \u201cWe strive to create effective communication between science, society and state agencies with the goal of promoting the development of science about earthquakes. Through the exchange of results and modern techniques of research, we will encourage researchers in the field in Kazakhstan and to raise the awareness of the public and individuals responsible for the security of the population, in order to ultimately reduce the hazards of earthquake,” said Professor Jackson, a member of the Royal Society and head of the\u00a0Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to Mr. Jackson as part of the international delegation to the conference, scientists from Nepal and Germany, India and Armenia, Italy and Iran, Kyrgyzstan and China will also attend the event. In the program of Almaty event there are an overview of the modern science on earthquakes in Kazakhstan and the Tien Shan mountains and the discussion on the impact of science on policies of mitigating the risks of earthquakes in the region. In the last days of the conference \u2013\u00a010 and 11 September<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 for the participants of the conference field trips to the faults and landslides in Almaty oblast will be organized. Professor of tectonics at the University of Oxford\u00a0Richard Walker<\/strong>\u00a0and Kyrgyzstan expert in the field of seismotectonics and modern geodynamics\u00a0Kanatbek Abdrahmatov<\/strong>\u00a0will be in charge of the trips.<\/p>\n

At the conference the\u00a0“Earthquakes: From A to Z”<\/strong>\u00a0brochure will be presented. The publication will contain basic information about this dangerous phenomenon: from the first earthquake registered to how to be prepared for natural disaster. The brochure will then be distributed for free to schools and universities of Almaty.<\/p>\n
