1 “Integrated observational system of systems” (~$200 million) SAFOD: 3.1 km borehole into the San Andreas Fault PBO: 1099 geodetic stations; 81 strainmeter/seismic stations USArray: 2605 seismic and 30 magnetotelluric stations Topographic imaging: 1000s of km 2 high resolution topography/InSAR swaths Geochronology: Age dating of wide range of rock types EarthScope: Instrumentation

2 Earth Sciences version of Hubble Space Telescope Enables “survey mode” of continent that cannot be achieved with PI-driven efforts alone Named the #1 “Epic Project” by Popular Science in 2011 EarthScope: Enabling New Science

3 Exploring the Structure and Evolution of the North American Continent The EarthScope scientific community conducts multidisciplinary research across the Earth sciences utilizing freely available data from instruments that measure motions of the Earth's surface, record seismic waves, and recover rock samples from depths at which earthquakes originate. EarthScope National Office @ ASU: Foreground Education and Public Outreach Propel EarthScope science Community oriented (earthscope@asu.edu)
