EERI's Learning From Earthquakes (LFE) Program invites you to a FREE webinar series this month with the LFE and GEER reconnaissance teams that traveled to Turkey in March to assess the impacts of the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake Sequence.
GEER Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes Reconnaissance Webinar: Geotechnical Impacts

On May 30, in the final webinar in this series, the Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) Association will share reconnaissance findings on the geotechnical impacts of the February 6, 2023 earthquake sequence. GEER and EERI sent an advance reconnaissance team to Turkey in mid-February, a week after the earthquakes, to collect perishable data and identify areas for further research. A Phase I GEER team followed to collect data along extensive fault ruptures, inspect affected dams, and map areas with variable levels of liquefaction-related damage. A Phase II GEER team later performed reconnaissance of liquefaction-related damage to port facilities and foundations. Members of all teams will join the webinar to present on their findings and respond to questions from the audience.
