GEF Scientific Reports

Scientific ReportsBorrowers of GEF geophysical equipment are required to provide a scientific report (or a reduced scientific report in the case of minor loans) to the committee one year after the completion of their project.

A list of completed reports is reproduced below for the benefit of the scientific community and future users of the Facility.

Reports are listed in order of loan number and can be filtered by science area. The full text of each report is also searchable using the form below, multiple search terms and wildcards (*) are allowed.

Before submitting your report, please make sure you have covered all items in the list of requirements.
