On May 30, 2023 in the final webinar in this series, the Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) Association shared 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 joined the webinar to present their findings and respond to questions from the audience.
