EES-9 leadership in environmental programs is based on our ability to integrate multidisciplinary expertise. We apply our expertise and capabilities primarily to problems related to environmental and geologic hazards. Problems dealing with complex, human-impacted natural environmental systems involve significant technical and programmatic uncertainties that are best addressed through thoughtful application of new and evolving probabilistic risk and decision analysis tools. We will continue to pursue and improve these capabilities.
Field studies are a large part of their work.
Ensuring that MDAs do not pose a future hazard to humans or the environment is an important aspect of this work. Field studies around the MDAs are underway. Information Management is developing an integrated system to capture, store, and retrieve scientific, engineering, and business information for the ER Project. Our group includes the two lead authors for scientific reports on surface processes and volcanic hazards. YMP has recently changed its emphasis from characterizing the potential repository site to preparing a series of scientific reports describing our present knowledge of the site and surrounding region.
