Abstract
At a workshop in Albuquerque, New
Mexico, in March 1999, jointly sponsored
by the National Science Foundation and
IRIS (Incorporated Research Institutions
for Seismology), seismologists and geologists
discussed an ambitious plan to explore, map, and develop an integrated
understanding of North American geology.
Proposed is the development of a
facility, USArray, that amounts to a
“Hubble telescope for the earth sciences”.
