Flagship Programmes are a collection of QuakeCoRE-funded projects involving multi-institution and multi-disciplinary research collaboration, engagement with end-users, and co-funding. The initial Flagships described in this Collaboration Plan integrate successful on-going projects by QuakeCoRE researchers and leverage additional funding to achieve significant impacts for NZ.
FP1: Ground Motion Simulation & Validation: This Flagship aims to induce a paradigm shift in strong ground motion prediction through the use of high-fidelity physics-based simulation methods; merging state-of-the-art knowledge in strong motion seismology and geotechnical earthquake engineering
...
FP5: Pathways To Improved Resilience: This Flagship focuses on determining how we decide where to invest attention and finances to improve NZ’s resilience to earthquakes.FP6: Spatially-Distributed Infrastructure: This Flagship seeks to develop tools to assess the seismic performance of spatially-distributed infrastructure networks subject to extreme natural hazards.
