Research
Field-driven studies of high-altitude particulates and contaminants in soil, air, and water, built on transparent, peer-reviewable methodology.

Independent Research on Geo-Engineering Contaminants
We educate the public on the global and geographical effects of geo-engineering through transparent research and rigorous environmental analysis, covering the soil, air, and water that communities depend on.
Communities live downstream of what happens overhead. The Coalition finds out what's there.

Who We Are
The Coalition for Geo-Engineering Research
An independent 501(c)(3) non-profit conducting research, analysis, and education on geo-engineering contaminants in soil, air, and water. Founded in 2025 in Pasco, Washington, partnered with RJ Lee Group and rooted in service to First Nations (Canada), Native American (USA) and rural farming communities across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Our Mission
Independent science. Public knowledge. Honest answers.
Our purpose is to educate the populace to the global and geographical effects of geo-engineering. Through research and environmental analyses we wish to provide information as to the various types of geo-engineering and their effects on our society and the environment.

Why This Research
These questions are now on the federal record.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has published public resources on contrails and geoengineering, announced by Administrator Lee Zeldin. Questions that communities across the Pacific Northwest have been raising for years are being treated as questions worth answering.
That is exactly where the Coalition works. Public attention raises the question. Documented sampling, accredited laboratory analysis, and honest reporting are what turn it into an answer.

What We Do
Three pillars of independent inquiry
Research, education, and analysis, designed to put credible information in the hands of the communities most affected by atmospheric and environmental contamination.
Education
Plain-language briefings, workshops, and explainers that translate technical findings into knowledge communities can act on.
Analysis
Particulate identification, elemental composition, and chain-of-custody documentation through our RJ Lee Group partnership.
Field Documentation
What people are photographing overhead.
Every Coalition study begins with the sky people are already watching. Residents across the Pacific Northwest and B.C. submit dated, geo-tagged photographs of unusual aerial activity: persistent grids, radial patterns, hazing events, and daytime halos. These images inform where and when we sample.

“It is my privilege to acknowledge your research effort and your commitment to conducting it with scientific transparency, reproducibility, and independent review.”

Pasco, WA 99301
Dear Ms. Facchetti and Mr. Burgess,
Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing the work you're doing through the Coalition for Geoengineering Research. It means a great deal to hear from fellow advocates who share a genuine commitment to transparency and rigorous, evidence-based inquiry into questions about our shared atmosphere and environment.
I was glad to learn more about your research initiative, “Investigation of Uncharacterized Atmospheric Particulate Matter and Environmental Deposition: Integrated Chemical, Mineralogical, Isotopic, and Source-Attribution Analysis,” and your partnership with RJ Lee Laboratories. The care you have put into your methodology — controlled sampling, documented chain of custody, independent laboratory quality assurance and quality control, and transparent reporting of both supporting and contradictory findings — reflects exactly the kind of scientific integrity that this issue deserves.
Your work resonates strongly with efforts I have been leading here in South Carolina. I recently sponsored H.4624, the South Carolina Clean Air Act, which addresses the intentional atmospheric release of chemicals or substances intended to affect our weather, and works to ensure our residents have access to clear, honest information about what is happening in the skies above their homes and communities. Independent research like yours plays an important role in supporting the public transparency and accountability this legislation is built around.
It is my privilege to acknowledge your research effort and your commitment to conducting it with scientific transparency, reproducibility, and independent review. I take no position on the ultimate source or interpretation of any material your research may identify, but I fully support the principle that residents deserve rigorous, independent answers to these questions.
Thank you again for the dedication you are bringing to this work on behalf of the public. I wish you continued success, and I hope we will have the opportunity to stay in touch as your research develops.
Warm regards,
Representative Lee Gilreath

Emerging Focus
GeoPulse microwave beams, the delivery mechanism under study.
Aerosolized particulates alone don't explain the timing and geometry of the weather patterns communities are observing. Our emerging line of inquiry examines the ground-based directed-energy infrastructure that appears to work in concert with atmospheric sprays, pulsed radio-frequency and microwave energy that ionizes selected volumes of the atmosphere and steers deposition.
