DRRN co-lead Carlos Molina Hutt has co-authored several articles with members of his research team at UBC's Engineering for Seismic Resilience Laboratory. Their work models the effects of earthquakes on buildings in Canada in order to understand seismic risk and support functional recovery after an earthquake.
