The EarthScope experiment – the most comprehensive exploration to date of the structure, dynamics, and geologic history of the North American continent – exemplifies the insatiable human drive to learn. EarthScope encourages a feeling of national interconnectedness – a continental sense of place – by openly inviting communities to participate in the experiment, and by fostering an understanding that their local environment and culture interact with other components within the larger, dynamic Earth system.
