The Center for Collective Impact in Earthquake Science (C-CIES)
The Center for Collective Impact in Earthquake Science (C-CIES), funded as a Track 1 planning grant by NSF’s Centers for Innovation and Community Engagement in Solid Earth Geohazards program, aims to address fundamental science questions related to earthquakes by implementing a collective impact (CI) model for science and community engagement. CI solves complex problems though the creation a network of community members, organizations, and institutions by adopting a common agenda, centralized support, continuous communication, mutually reinforcing activities, and shared measurement. The science and engineering driver of C-CIES is to study high consequence, low frequency of incidence (HC-LoFI) events. The mission is to increase societal resilience to earthquakes through collective impact hazard research with a vision to become an interdisciplinary research center rooted in equity, diversity, and engagement. The core values of the center are scientific integrity, equity, excellence, diversity, access, justice, inclusion, and collective impact. The goals of the center are to: 1) Advance convergent and transdisciplinary earthquake science and engineering research, 2) Recruit, retain, and train the next generation of diverse, interdisciplinary Earth scientists and leaders, 3) Establish a foundation of CI in Earthquake Science for shared, value-driven research that is responsive to the needs of communities, and is transferable and scalable to other geohazards, and valuable to other disciplines, and 4) Develop strong CI management structure for the center that translates results of scientific discovery into actions that can improve resilience and reduce risk from geohazars. C-CIES is currently undertaking pilot projects that will address faulting, earthquakes, and their impacts, and which, upon evaluation, may be promoted to full projects as the center launches in one year. Using collective impact, we aim to change the way geoscience is conducted by answering fundamental community-driven science questions that will have a broad, positive impact.
