The Weather Channel recently filmed the installation of an EarthScope Transportable Array station. Their story aired April 26, at 6AM ET on "Wake Up With Al" on The Weather Channel. The video features Steve Whitmeyer (JMU) explaining the purpose and process of EarthScope's Transportable Array project.

Please contact Wade Johnson (johnson@unavco.org) with any questions.
This is an exciting time for SAFOD as the scientific results from the core analyses continue to roll in.
The core viewer is cool! Explore the core
EarthScope is now accepting nominations for Speakers for the 2013-2014 academic year.

Read More…The PBO H2O initiative is an interdisciplinary research program using reflected signals recorded by the Plate Boundary Observatory GPS network to measure snow depth, soil moisture, and vegetation water content at several hundred GPS sites each day.
This past summer the EarthScope experiment arrived at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. A Transportable Array (TA) seismic station was installed just a few miles north of our main campus. Previously, we had a seismometer recording in an office at the Ecology Resource Center.
TAstation-overview : An overview picture of the entire site. Here, Dr. Mike Brudzinski is pointing out the GPS unit. While we typically recognize GPS as an instrument that measures location, we can also use GPS instruments to collect accurate timing information.

This summer program will bring together scientists from different disciplines to better understand how continents are formed and evolve over Earth history. Participants will work together to explore new and existing models for continent formation from the Archean to the present, and in particular, use continental evolution as a foundation for understanding the science of truly whole-Earth system. The program includes a tutorial program for about 40 advanced graduate students and post-docs, but more senior scientists are also welcome.
Read More…Hosted by the College of Charleston and organized by ESNO, the EarthScope Southeast Regional Workshop for Interpretive Professionals featured presentations and collaborations by EarthScope geoscientists and interpretive professionals to better present the geologic setting and history of the southeastern region of the United States to the public, teachers, and students. Workshop participants learned about EarthScope science, the geologic evolution of the region, earthquake preparedness, scientific results from EarthScope and other sources, and developed and presented actual interpretive programs.
The Cascadia Science Workshop is underway starting today in Portland Oregon. Watch this space for updates over the next few days. Main meeting website: http://www.geoprisms.org/upcoming-meetings/cascadia-apr2012.html 
The EarthScope Cyberinfrastructure Subcommittee (ECISC) is comprise of M. Gurnis (Chair, Caltech), L. Flesch (Purdue), D. Okaya (USC), S. Peters (Wisconsin), D. Walker (Kansas), T. Ahern (IRIS), F. Boler (UNAVCO), and R. Arrowsmith (ex officio, ASU). This committee has worked hard over the last several months to put together a preliminary strategic plan for EarthScope Cyberinfrastructure. Thanks very much to them and their service!!!
Read More…The EarthScope National Office is hosting the EarthScope Science Education and Outreach Provider Summit the next two days at Arizona State University. It is an exciting opportunity to bring together the Education and Outreach Providers and Managers from many of the Earth Science facilities and efforts.
Read More…We had a good town hall at the 2011 AGU Meeting. Ramón Arrowsmith welcomed everyone and made a few remarks updating the community on a number activities after introducing the new ESNO. Greg Anderson followed with remarks from the National Science Foundation. The audience (numbering 113) had a few comments as well.
Read More…The National Science Foundation has put together a Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) about the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth. SAFOD as an indispensible component of EarthScope is affirmed. The plan then will be to redefine the scope of SAFOD, seek a new awardee to manage and operate it, encourage new science proposals using the Facility, and have a workshop focused on borehole observatories (including SAFOD) for studies of earthquake and fault physics.
Read More…EarthScope is a combined infrastructure and science program funded by the US National Science Foundation, focused on understanding the structure, dynamics, and evolution of North America, using the observational tools of seismology (USArray), geodesy (Plate Boundary Observatory, InSAR, and high resolution topography), and scientific drilling (San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth). EarthScope is also a community of scientists, decision makers, educators, students, and interested public.
Read More…We are excited, humbled, and honored to host the new EarthScope National Office (ESNO) at Arizona State University. We serve the broad and diverse community of EarthScope stakeholders, including EarthScope researchers, formal and informal educators in Earth science, and the general public.
Read More…As part of our effort to enhance the communications within this dynamic community, we have developed this site.
