WASHINGTON, D.C., Oct. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Two leaders in Earth science education, UNAVCO and the IRIS Consortium, have merged to create a new entity, EarthScope Consortium.

Key Points: 
  • WASHINGTON, D.C., Oct. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Two leaders in Earth science education, UNAVCO and the IRIS Consortium, have merged to create a new entity, EarthScope Consortium.
  • The merger expands the availability of high-quality teaching resources for educators in K-12 education and higher education.
  • I don't have the time during the semester to produce materials of such high quality, so I rely on EarthScope.
  • By observing shifts in vector lengths and directions, students can gain insights into the stresses a region is undergoing.
