IRIS Statement on Racism in Geoscience

We at IRIS join our colleagues from across the country and around the globe in unequivocally denouncing racism. BLACK LIVES MATTER. We also know that racism is persistent in STEM and that there are systemic inequalities in academia and particularly in the geosciences. Continue Reading

SCIENCE AND PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Boundary to backstop: the Eastern Denali Fault

Boundary to backstop: the Eastern Denali Fault

 Can the eastern Denali Fault rupture as catastrophically as its westerly counterparts? A team of scientists from the University of Calgary aimed to find out.
The MAGIC of multiple datasets in eastern North America

The MAGIC of multiple datasets in eastern North America

 The MAGIC experiment allows scientists to see how complicated tectonic process manifest at deep levels of the eastern margin of North America. By linking the deep structure with surface observations “we can inform our views of the past processes.”

MEMBER HIGHLIGHT

Is Earth’s Core Lopsided? Strange Goings-on in our Planet’s Interior

Is Earth’s Core Lopsided? Strange Goings-on in our Planet’s Interior

 Seismologists at the University of California, Berkeley have discovered that Earth’s solid-iron inner core is growing faster on one side than the other, and it has been ever since it started to freeze out from molten iron more than half a billion years ago.
