Earthscope – Opportunities for Interdisciplinary Research

Earthscope – Opportunities for Interdisciplinary Research

From the NSF

The National Science Foundation has released updated information about the Division of Earth Science’s Earthscope program. The Division of Earth Sciences provides support for research concerning the Earth’s structure, evolution and interaction with the Earth’s biosphere. The Earthscope program is focused on opportunities for scientists concerned with the evolution of the continents and processes within the crust, mantle and lithosphere of Earth. The program is committed to supporting interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research, and is particularly interested in proposals in emerging fields.

Studying the processes behind plate tectonics on Earth is essential in determining how life originated and evolved alongside our ever-changing planet. Fields such as geobiology have begun to play an important role in understanding the history of life on Earth and the potential for life on other planets.
