The Committee on Geological and Geotechnical Engineering (COGGE) is the focal point within the Board on Earth Sciences and Resources at the National Academies 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; and, 4) 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.COGGE is the only intellectual organization within the Washington, DC area dedicated to increasing awareness of the importance of geological and geotechnical engineering in addressing societal needs, and to developing and overseeing unbiased, peer reviewed consensus studies conducted by ad hoc committees of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on topics relevant to the geological and geotechnical engineering communities. Through public meetings, webinars, and those consensus studies, COGGE (1) enhances research and education infrastructure by identifying strategies for collaboration among geotechnical and other and other engineering and scientific communities (including the social sciences); (2) promotes capacity building through interaction with academics, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers; (3) improves scientific and technological understanding through reviewed reports for broad dissemination; (4) benefits society by providing the best science and engineering information to COGGE sponsors, the broader geotechnical engineering community, decision makers in the private and public sectors, and the general public.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

地质和岩土工程委员会（COGGE）是国家科学院地球科学和资源委员会的协调中心，负责与地球科学工程应用有关的科学，技术和公共政策问题。该委员会的工作范围包括地球过程和材料，包括岩石和土壤的力学，并侧重于安全和负责任的人类发展，风险评估和减轻自然人为灾害。该委员会组织和监督研究：1）识别、调查并向政府、工业界、学术界和公众报告与地质和岩土工程相关的问题; 2）提供科学和技术信息，为有关地质和岩土工程问题的公共政策提供信息; 3）识别新技术和潜在应用;（4）促进知识的获取和传播。此外，该委员会还为学术和专业团体、政府机构和私营企业提供了一个讨论论坛，以加强国家和国际合作和信息交流。COGGE是华盛顿地区唯一的知识组织，致力于提高人们对地质和岩土工程在满足社会需求方面的重要性的认识，并制定和监督公正的，由美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院特设委员会就地质和岩土工程界相关主题进行的同行评议共识研究。通过公开会议、网络研讨会和这些共识研究，COGGE（1）通过确定岩土工程和其他工程及科学界之间的合作战略，加强研究和教育基础设施（包括社会科学）;（2）通过与学者、研究人员、从业人员和决策者的互动促进能力建设;（3）通过广泛传播经审查的报告，提高对科学和技术的认识;（4）通过向COGGE赞助商、更广泛的岩土工程界、私营和公共部门的决策者提供最佳科学和工程信息，造福社会，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
