GEOPHYSICS Canadian National Geomagnetism Program The National Geomagnetism Program of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) monitors and predicts the Earth's ever-changing magnetic field throughout Canada, on time-scales ranging from seconds to decades. Digital Tectonic Activity Map (NASA) a new visualization tool for both researcher and educator alike to better understand tectonic activity of our planet for the past 1 million years. DTAM is a Geographical Information System (GIS) that displays a realistic synoptic view of present global tectonism by filling in the cartographic gap between conventional geological maps and plate reconstruction maps. Finding Faults: Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Chronicles Dr. Jeff Babcock's efforts to map in detail a California offshore earthquake fault system using an innovative seismometer developed by his team at Scripps. Visitors to the site will find descriptions, photographs, attractive graphics, and more, presented in a non-technical and interesting fashion.
