Science Nuggets—See Your Research on the Map!
The EarthScope National Office is highlighting the scientific achievements of the EarthScope program. See a sneak peak of the interactive online map, which features summaries of EarthScope projects to engage both scientific and broader audiences. We continue to add new projects, so be sure to check back for updates.
Get your research included on the map—send us your project information by June 15 through the online submission form. If you have already written a project abstract or summary, you can submit that for your Science Nugget and we will work with you on a revised version for the public.
If you have questions or would like more information, contact EarthScope National Office science writer Beth Grassi at bagrassi@alaska.edu or 907-474-7094.
