    Good evening,<br>
    <br>
    We received this kind note from Linda Rowan, External Affairs
    Director for UNAVCO, and have her permission<br>
    to share it with the NHERI Council. Two items for your attention,
    one is the news story (see link in her message).<br>
    The second is her generous call for a closer collaboration with
    NHERI. I believe that several of you may work<br>
    closer with UNAVCO already, but perhaps others might find this
    helpful.<br>

    Forum as well.<br>

        Dear Julio and Billy,
        <div>Thank you for organizing this important science plan for
          NHERI. It is a useful document and important to read for the
          geoscience community. The geosciences funded by NSF are
          focused on research and collaborations with other directorates
          to support multi-disciplinary research. The community also
          understands that basic research advances our possibilities to
          prepare for and reduce the risks from natural hazards. This
          enhances the need for collaboration between engineering,
          geosciences and social sciences in particular.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I am writing to note the importance of geodetic-based
          research and geodetic tools for natural hazards preparedness
          and risk reduction. Geodesy is an expanding and evolving area
          of research that touches directly on hazards. GPS/GNSS
          monuments and networks, imaging/earth observing satellites,
          borehole geophysics (strainmeters and seismometers at depth)
          and other geodetic tools are increasingly important for
          informing research and applied science for hazards. Here is
          one recent <a
href="https://www.knowablemagazine.org/article/physical-world/2019/gps-going-places"
            target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">news story</a> about
          some of the uses of geodesy/GNSS with reference to some recent
          reviews. Geodesy for hazards can help to inform engineering
          research for hazards. The geodesy community is interested in
          greater collaboration with NHERI and engineering research at
          NSF as well as engineering for hazards more broadly.</div>
