GOALS

The Objectives and Purposes of GEER are:

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

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

3. Employ innovative technologies for post-event reconnaissance.

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

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

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

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

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