Conveners & Instructors
EarthScope ANGLE is funded by the National Science Foundation's EarthScope Program. The collaborating institutions on the grant are Alaska Pacific University, University of Alaska Anchorage's Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program, and Central Washington University. Instructors will be drawn from these institutions and partner organizations in science and emergency preparedness. Learn more about the ANGLE leadership team and instructors on the About Us page. The ANGLE program is building on successes from a similar program run in Washington and Oregon, where similar natural hazards are present.
