Since October 1998, the American Geological Institute and its federal/private partners have organized Earth Science Week to help the public gain a better understanding and appreciation for the Earth Sciences and to encourage stewardship of the Earth.
This year's theme is "Our Ever-Changing Earth," and NASA is offering a variety of multimedia products and educational activities designed to improve understanding of the natural processes that shape our planet over time.
