Geologists to test theory that Asia is being 'stuffed' under Tibetan Plateau For nearly a decade and a half, Cornell geologist Larry Brown has been leading an international seismic profiling effort in Tibet, using explosions to probe the deep earth and discover how continents formed millions of years ago.

Project INDEPTH (InterNational DEep Profiling of Tibet and the Himalaya) is an interdisciplinary program of geophysical and geological studies designed to develop a better understanding of the deep structure and mechanics of the Himalaya-Tibet region. It represents a major collaboration between the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences of the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources and a number of institutions from the US, Germany, and Canada. Funding for INDEPTH has thus far come from the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources of China, the Continental Dynamics Program of the U.S. National Science Foundation, the Chinese National Natural Science Foundation, the Deutches ForschungsGemeinschaft, and the GeoforschungsZentrum Potsdam (DEKORP).

The NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies is located in the Morningside Heights-Columbia University neighborhood of New York City, at the corner of West 112th St. and Broadway. GISS is a component laboratory of Goddard Space Flight Center's Earth Sciences Division, which is part of GSFC's Sciences and Exploration Directorate. The institute was originally established in May 1961 by Dr. Robert Jastrow to do basic research in space sciences in support of Goddard programs. Much of the institute's early work involved study of planetary atmospheres using data collected by telescopes and space probes, and in time that led to GISS becoming a leading center of atmospheric modeling and of climate change.
