The GeoPRISMS Program has come to completion after its run of over ten years. As part of the program legacy, the GeoPRISMS office has put together the final issue of the newsletter that celebrates a decade of scientific achievements made through the Program and highlights the efforts that have enabled to build this amazing science community (Digital newsletter available here). Through science reviews, program highlights, testimonials, and research nuggets – contributed by researchers from the GeoPRISMS Community – this final newsletter showcases the individual and collaborative efforts that have led to discoveries made via the GeoPRISMS subduction and rift initiatives, with the goal of communicating the breadth and depth of the science that has been carried out by the GeoPRISMS community. Articles published in the retrospective volume are available for download below).
