EarthScope - An Earth Science Program to Explore the Structure and Evolution of the North American Continent and Understand Processes Controlling Earthquakes and Volcanoes.
 |
Interdisciplinary Earth ScienceEarthScope provides freely accessible data and data products from thousands of geophysical instruments that measure motions of the Earth's surface, record seismic waves, and recover rock samples from depths at which earthquakes originate. The EarthScope scientific community is conducting multidisciplinary research across the Earth sciences utilizing the data collected and maintained by EarthScope facilities. In-depth collaboration between scientists and educators bring the excitement of cutting-edge Earth science research into classrooms, museums and parks. |
