The Geoscience, Energy and Maritime Division uses scientific and technical innovations to develop solutions that help overcome development challenges in the Pacific. Our strength comes from an innate understanding of the region built-upon the scientific and technical expertise of almost 50 years working alongside Pacific people, governments and partners.
The Division supports Pacific Countries and Territories by developing critical data, applied science and technical solutions to overcome challenges faced by our members. We work in partnership with countries to better understand these challenges whilst supporting and developing innovative solutions to overcome some of the greatest risks faced by this region.
We help create relevant development solutions across areas such as disaster & climate resilience, water security, ocean science, built environment, energy security, applied geoscience, risk & hazard assessment, geoinformatics and earth observation.
GEM consists of four key technical programmes generating holistic, integrated and relevant solutions to inform decision making and effective planning.
