Review of Work Prepared by Another Professional Geoscientist
By Erica Richler, Partner, Steinecke Maciura LeBlanc
What are the professional obligations of geoscientists when participating in a peer review? Erica Richler, legal counsel to the APGO, will present on the APGO Guideline, “Professional Geoscientists Reviewing Work Prepared by Another Professional Geoscientist”. The presentation will provide an overview of the new guideline, including the obligations of both the reviewing geoscientist and the geoscientist whose work is being reviewed. Common challenges will also be discussed, including how to manage a geoscientist’s duty of confidentiality when a significant safety issue must be reported.
