The pages you are about to surf and read do not contain all that can be said.
Every year as we compile the Highlights issue, we aim to collect summaries about
as many of the earth science disciplines as possible. We ask several volunteers
to take breaks from their science, look at the big picture, and offer Geotimes
readers overviews of the big news and trends in their respective fields. It
is a formidable task for writers and editors alike, and the most difficult part
is deciding what to leave out. Such is the richness of the earth sciences.
Fortunately, the Web offers more flexibility, allowing us to tell even more.
These versions of the stories are longer and slightly modified from those in
print. We hope you enjoy these diverse earth science snapshots.
