Camelbeeck 2

Thierry CAMELBEECK
Has 40 years of experience in Seismology and Tectonics. His main area of expertise is the study of past earthquakes and active tectonics in stable or tectonically active areas. He has been working as an observational seismologist at the Royal Observatory of Belgium since 1983.

Fukushima

Yoshi FUKUSHIMA
Has 40 years of experience in Seismology of Strong motion to develop ground motion prediction models and empirical Green’s function approaches as well as site response analysis based on strong ground motion observations. He has been working as a senior nuclear safety officer for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) since 2010 just 3 months before the Fukushima Daiichi accident and contributed to communication between IAEA and Japan. He is responsible to develop the IAEA safety standard on seismic hazard assessments and to review siting of nuclear installations for the Member States.
