EarthScope in the Northern Rockies part of EarthScope in the Northern Rockies Workshop
EarthScope's network of multipurpose geophysical instruments and observatories is expanding capabilities to observe the structure and ongoing deformation of the North American continent. The goal of this workshop was to formulate an integrated research and education agenda to optimize the use of the Earthscope facility in the northern Rockies, to identify the "big" scientific questions of the region, and to engage the public through a variety of education and outreach activities.

Why is Earth among all terrestrial bodies in the solar system (e.g. Moon Mars Venus and meteorites) the only body to have sialic crust? part of Early Earth:Key Questions about the Early Earth
This educational web page, part of the "Teach the Earth" initiative by NAGT, addresses the geoscience question of why Earth uniquely possesses a sialic crust among terrestrial bodies, discussing planetary differentiation, core formation, late accretion of volatiles, and the role of a hydrated mantle in enabling plate tectonics and continental crust formation.
