DESCRIPTION:David Wald is a seismologist with USGS at the National Earthqua
 ke Information Center in Golden\, Colorado. Wald leads development and ope
 rations of real-time information systems including ShakeMap\, Did You Feel
  it?\, PAGER\, ShakeCast\, and Ground Failure. David is currently the Edit
 or-in-Chief of the EERI's journal Earthquake Spectra and is an Adjunct Pro
 fessor in the Geophysics at the Colorado School of Mines. He was an IRIS/S
 SA Distinguished Lecturer and EERI’s Distinguished Lecture. He also serv
 ed on the Board of Directors for both SSA and EERI and was the 2009 recipi
 ent of SSA’s Frank Press Public Service Award. In 2021\, Wald was awarde
 d the EERI-SSA Joyner Lectureship\, an AGU Fellow\, and received the USGS 
 Shoemaker Lifetime Achievement Award in Communications\, an award granted 
 annually to a scientist who creates excitement and enthusiasm for science 
 among non-scientists by using effective communication skills. \n\nWald ear
 ned his undergraduate degree in Geology and Physics at St. Lawrence Univer
 sity\, and M.S. in Geophysics at the University of Arizona\, and his Ph.D.
  in Geophysics from Caltech in 1993. Previously at Caltech\, and now at th
 e Colorado School of Mines\, Wald has advised scores of post-doctoral\, gr
 aduate\, and undergraduate student research projects. His own scientific i
 nterests include a wide variety of earthquake applications including real-
 time monitoring\, earthquake rupture processes\, analysis of ground motion
  hazards and site effects\, macroseismology\, modeling earthquake-induced 
 ground failure\, citizen-seismology\, and estimating human and economic lo
 sses.\n\n \n\nAbstract\n\nMacroseismic intensity observations and analyses
  connect our collective seismological past with the present—and the pres
 ent to the future—by facilitating hazard estimates and communicating the
  effects of shaking to a wide variety of audiences across the ages. Tradit
 ional macroseismic surveys are now supplemented by citizen-science-based i
 ntensity observations\, greatly expanding datasets that now provide vital 
 constraints on critical aspects of earthquakes and their impacts on societ
 y\, including real-time earthquake situational awareness and response. In 
 this presentation I expand on USGS’ continuing development of near-real-
 time earthquake information systems that depend on macroseismology. I also
  examine the wide range of other uses of intensity data\, in essence\, con
 necting earthquake science\, earthquake engineering\, and loss and risk an
 alyses. These important uses require us to revisit traditional macroseismi
 c scales in a modern context\, standardize internet-based collection strat
 egies\, and assure compatibility of these alternative approaches of macros
 eismic data collection.
