GEER Goals

 


The Objectives and Purposes of GEER are:

1. Document geo-engineering and related effects of important earthquakes to advance research and practice.  

2. Advance the capabilities of individuals performing post-earthquake reconnaissance.

3. Employ innovative technologies for post-earthquake reconnaissance.

4. Facilitate access to equipment required for sensing and data collection.

5. Train individuals to perform effective post-earthquake reconnaissance.

6. Disseminate timely and accurate post-earthquake web-based reports and data.

7. Develop a coordinated response for geoengineers and earth scientists, who have previously self-assembled, to form effective post-earthquake reconnaissance teams. 

8. Promote the standardization of measurement and reporting in reconnaissance efforts.
