This position provides administrative, supervisory, and technical leadership for the section, as well as scientific and operational leadership and oversight through the knowledge of geological processes, focusing on where hazardous events are most likely to occur, assessing their potential impacts on human populations and infrastructure, and determining mitigation strategies.
