Working groups

Overview

From an original seventeen topics, the IPGT narrowed its focus to six topics in 2009 and added induced seismicity in 2010. The Steering Committee indentified four conveners for each topic - one for each member country - who will assemble seven international working groups. Under the direction of the conveners, the working groups will develop white papers and research plans for their topic areas, which will assist in the development of IPGT projects in coming months.

Interest in joining an IPGT working group may be directed to the Secretariat.
