Dear Mr. President,
The activities of TC32 in the period 2001-2005 are described on the TC32
web site
http://www.engmath.dal.ca/tc32/index.html.
The main activities in this period were:
- 3 TC32 meetings:
- Graz, Austria, 16 September 2002
- San Francisco, USA, 7 July 2003
- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 29 June 2004
The minutes of the meetings are posted on the TC32 website. The final
meeting of the present TC32 is planned for Osaka, Japan, during the
16th ICSMGE later this year.
- Development of a general glossary of terms for risk assessment and
management.
The "official" TC32 glossary of terms for risk assessment and
management was finally agreed upon and issued. This was probably
the most significant achievement of TC32 in this period. The
glossary of terms is found on our web site and is adopted as the
official terminology for the JTC1 International Conference on
Landslide Risk Management planned in Vancouver in May 2005.
- Active participation in the JTC1 International Conference on Landslide
Risk Management planned in Vancouver in May 2005. Several TC32 core
members are (co-)writing the State-of-the-Art papers for this conference.
TC32 has established liaisons with the following groups:
- ASCE GeoInstitute's Risk Assessment and Management Committee, which is
chaired by Prof. K.K. Phoon of National University of Singapore. TC32
Core Members W. Roberds and G. Fenton are long-standing members of this
committee.
- Joint Committee JTC1 of ISSMGE - IAEG - ISRM on Landslides (chaired by
Prof. Robin Fell)
- Joint Committee on Structural Safety (chaired by Prof. Ton Vrouwenvelder)
The following activities are on-going:
- Organizing or sponsoring a prediction symposium
- Develop a bibliography for risk assessment and management
- Assembling an extensive set of case studies
- Assembling a set of course notes
Sincerely yours
Dr. Farrokh Nadim
