Kevin Clahan of LCI participated on the recent Geotechnical Extreme Event Response (GEER) team to the Gorkha Earthquake in Nepal. LCI’s internal research funding program provided the means for Mr. Clahan to join the GEER team as funding for such response is limited. The GEER Association assembled a reconnaissance team to evaluate geotechnical impacts of the April 25, 2015 Gorkha Earthquake and its related aftershocks. Mr. Clahan arrived in Nepal shortly after the Mw7.8 mainshock and was doing reconnaissance when the largest aftershock (Mw 7.3) occurred on May 12, 2015. The focus of the reconnaissance was on time-sensitive (perishable) data, and the GEER team included a large group of experts in the areas of Geology, Engineering Geology, Seismology, Tectonics, Geotechnical Engineering, Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering, and Civil and Environmental Engineering. The GEER team worked in close collaboration with local and international organizations to document earthquake damage and identify targets for detailed follow up investigations. A summary report of the Gorkha earthquake published by GEER is available through the following link, a technical paper published at Seismological Research Letters is available through the following link.
