EarthScope

Many fundamental aspects of continental structure and dynamics, including those responsible for earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, are not yet well understood. This is, in part, because of the diffi culty of piecing together the results of many focused, regional studies carried out by a single investigator or a small team of investigators.

Civilian Satellite Remote Sensing

0ver the next two decades, Earth observations from space promise to become increasingly important for predicting the weather, studying global change, and managing global resources. How the U.S. government responds to the political, economic, and technical challenges posed by the growing interest in satellite remote sensing could have a major impact on the use and management of global resources.
