This award provides core funding for the Committee on Geological and Geotechnical Engineering (COGGE) which was formed in November 2001 as a standing committee under the National Research Council?s Board on Earth Sciences and Resources. The committee?s predecessor was the U.S. National Committee for Rock Mechanics.COGGE is the focal point within the Board on Earth Sciences and Resources for scientific, technical, and public-policy issues pertaining to the engineering applications of Earth Sciences. The committee?s scope encompasses Earth processes and materials, including the mechanics of rock and soil, and focuses on safe and responsible human development, risk assessment, and mitigation of natural anthropogenic hazards. The committee organizes and oversees studies:1) to identify, investigate, and report on questions relating to geological and geotechnical engineering to government, industry, academia, and the public;2) to provide scientific and technical information to inform public policy on geological and geotechnical engineering issues;3) to identify new technologies and potential applications; and4) to promote the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge.In addition, the committee provides a forum for discussion among academic and professional groups, government agencies, and private industry to enhance national and international cooperation and exchange of information.Research and engineering developments in geological and geotechnical engineering are driven by concerns for the natural and built environment (including radioactive and hazardous waste isolation, remediation, and mitigation), mitigation of natural hazards such as earthquakes and landslides, environmentally sound recovery of natural resources, and interest in defense structures in rock. The technological, economic, social, and political impacts of these issues engage the attention of many government agencies, business corporations, and public interest groups and posit the need for the COGGE. COGGE will continue to advance the role that geological and geotechnical engineers and related scientists play in a range of contexts in the U.S. The committee will work to identify and oversee studies such as the recent studies that produced reports such as Assessment of the Performance of Engineered Waste Containment Barriers and Geological and Geotechnical Engineering in the New Millennium.

该奖项为2001年11月在国家研究委员会的地球科学和资源委员会下作为常务委员会成立的地质和岩土工程委员会（COGGE）提供了核心资金。 委员会的前任是美国国家岩石力学委员会。 委员会的范围包括地球过程和材料，包括岩石和土壤的机制，并着重于安全有负责任的人类发展，风险评估以及缓解自然人为危害的危险。委员会组织和监督研究：1）确定，调查和报告与政府，工业，学术界和公众有关地质和岩土工程有关的问题； 2）提供科学和技术信息，以告知有关地质和岩土技术工程问题的公共政策； 3）以确定新技术和潜在的应用； and4) to promote the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge.In addition, the committee provides a forum for discussion among academic and professional groups, government agencies, and private industry to enhance national and international cooperation and exchange of information.Research and engineering developments in geological and geotechnical engineering are driven by concerns for the natural and built environment (including radioactive and hazardous waste isolation, remediation, and mitigation), mitigation of natural hazards such as earthquakes以及滑坡，自然资源的环境恢复以及对岩石防御结构的兴趣。 这些问题的技术，经济，社会和政治影响吸引了许多政府机构，商业公司和公共利益集团的注意，并提出了对齿轮的需求。 Cogge将继续推进地质和岩土工程师和相关科学家在美国的一系列情况下发挥的作用，委员会将努力识别和监督研究，例如最近产生的报告，例如评估新千年中新千年的工程废物遏制障碍，地质和岩土工程的性能。
