EarthScope Visualization Challenge is Now Open!
Visuals are a highly effective and often creative means of communicating ideas and discoveries with both the general public and the broader scientific community. To that end, the EarthScope National Office is hosting an annual competition to highlight and celebrate the most effective, stunning, and stimulating visuals conveying the work of EarthScope scientists. If you have been conceptualizing and drafting your EarthScope results via an aesthetic form, now is the time to share! More information, including categories and prizes, on our webpage.
