In our second episode with Lori Peek of the NHERI CONVERGE facility, Peek discusses the social infrastructure that enables extreme events reconnaissance (EER) teams to work together on NSF-funded natural hazards research. She explains the NHERI Leadership Corps and how this coordinating group unites researchers from different disciplines — from engineers to social scientists to data scientists. She also gives examples of how EER teams differ in their actions and membership. Lastly, Peek describes the shared commitment among EER teams, to gather and share their data publicly on the NHERI DesignSafe cyberinfrastructure — so the full gamut of multidisciplinary natural hazards data is available for the entire research community to build on.Related Links:NHERI CONVERGE FacilityUniversity of Colorado Boulder Converge Facility Lori Peek, NHERI CONVERGE Principal Investigator
