Science

InterRidge is in its second decade. The science plan for this decade identifies the themes (represented by working groups, the mainstay of InterRidge) that will constitute the core of research during this period. A working group is led by a working group chair or co-chairs who drive the progress of the group and report back to the Steering Committee and the community at large. Working group members come from various universities and research institutes around the world, and their experise is diverse but pertinent to the project the working group is tackling. This ensures that ridge-related research projects are addressed from different perspectives.
