LCI is pleased to announce that Mr. Ivan Wong has joined our team as a Principal Seismologist. Ivan is a nationally and internationally recognized expert in seismic hazard and seismic risk evaluations, with more than 40 years of experience in the fields of seismology and seismic geology with an emphasis on studies in seismicity, seismotectonics, and earthquake ground motions. His professional experience includes work on more than 200 dams in the U.S., Canada, Thailand, Eritrea, and Egypt; bridges, tunnels and pipelines; mining facilities and tailings dams in the western U.S., Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Chile; nuclear power plants and waste repositories; cogeneration plants; and LNG facilities and offshore petroleum platforms. Ivan’s recent work includes studies of earthquakes in the central United States and Canada triggered by deep wastewater injection and hydraulic fracturing. He has worked extensively for FEMA particularly in the implementation of the loss estimation software HAZUS. Ivan has served on numerous professional committees and panels, particularly for the U.S. Geological Survey, and is actively involved in the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute and the Seismological Society of America. He has authored or co-authored more than 300 publications including more than 130 papers (26 in peer-reviewed journals), and more than 190 abstracts published in professional journals and conference proceedings. Ivan’s expertise in seismology and seismic hazard analysis complements LCI’s strengths in seismic geology and neotectonics, and we are proud and excited to have him on our team.
