Management Structure and Governance

The Task Group on Submarine Geohazards (TGSG) will be composed of the Executive Bureau, Secretariat, Consortium, and Advisory Organization . Via committee meetings, the Executive Bureau will ensure the effective and efficient functioning of all TGSG activities as well as the effective completion of TGSG Objectives. The Executive Bureau will be responsible for reporting of activities to the IUGS.
TGSG progress, ensuring delivery of aims and objectives, will be reviewed by the Executive Bureau through biannual Management Board meetings. Management Board meetings will be led by the TGSG Chair, supported by the Executive Bureau. Vice-Chairs represent a global perspective on submarine geohazards pertaining to offshore renewable energy systems. Coordinators will be responsible for integrating the input of members of the TGSG consortium on the various objectives, and reporting progress to the IUGS Management Board. The TGSG consortium consists of academic and governmental organizations as well as private sectors dedicated to offshore renewable energy systems. To enable delivery of Objectives, Coordinators will arrange and hold sub-committee meetings as needed. Further supporting IUGS Management Board meetings and the roles of the Coordinators, the TGSG Secretariat will provide platforms for sharing of information within and beyond, the TGSG by enabling online and physical meetings. The Secretariat will also maintain a public webpage to disseminate information of TGSG activities and key deliverable outputs and will perform financial management. The Secretariat will be set up through the Society for Study of Submarine Geological Risks (SSSGR), Tokyo, Japan (https://www.kisojiban.com/sssgr/). An Advisory Organization will be integrated within the TGSG to provide intellectual support of the Executive Bureau, and hence will act as a source of information and guidance to steer direction and development of programmes of work.

The Executive Bureau will meet annually to review the progress of TGSG work and to ensure that the TGSG work continues to address submarine geohazards pertaining to offshore renewable energy systems.
