Structural Geology Fundamentals of Structural Geology Fundamental of Structural Geology: On-line materials from authors Ragan GIS G4G: GIS for Geomorphology An excellent website providing tutorial of various GIS tools for investigating effects of active tectonics and climate change on mountainous landscapes. Organizations, consortiums, research groups 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. The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) is a community of over 600 scientists, students, and others at over 60 institutions worldwide, headquartered at the University of Southern California. SCEC is funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Geological Survey to develop a comprehensive understanding of earthquakes in Southern California and elsewhere, and to communicate useful knowledge for reducing earthquake risk. GeoPRISMS is the legacy of the NSF MARGINS Program. It is a decadal program, funded by NSF, committed to the amphibious study of the origin and evolution of continental margins through interdisciplinary, community-based investigations. Global Earthquake Model is a global collaborative effort with the aim to provide organisations and people with tools and resources for transparent assessment of earthquake risk anywhere in the world. By pooling data, knowledge and people, GEM acts as an international forum for collaboration and exchange, and leverages the knowledge of leading experts for the benefit of society. Data Sources OpenTopography is a portal to high-resolution topography data and tools. OpenTopography facilitates community access to high-resolution, Earth science-oriented, topography data, and related tools and resources.
