Please use the menu at right to browse the InterRidge working groups. 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.
