The National Research Council is conducting a Decadal Survey of Ocean Sciences (DSOS 2015) and wants to hear from you!
The purpose of this decadal study, sponsored by the NSF, is to review the current state of knowledge, identify compelling scientific questions for the next decade, analyze infrastructure needed to address these questions vs. the current NSF portfolio, and identify opportunities to maximize the value of NSF investments.
The DSOS committee feels strongly that this report must be informed by broad and thoughtful community input from across the entire spectrum of ocean sciences supported by NSF. One of the ways we are soliciting community input is through a Virtual Town Hall: http://nas-sites.org/dsos2015/. The site provides more detailed information on the statement of task, as well as a complete list of the DSOS committee members. Please go to the website and contribute your comments regarding the top ocean science priorities for the next decade. Thank you!
Although the Virtual Town Hall is the primary vehicle for community input, there is also a Town Hall scheduled at the Fall AGU meeting:
Town Hall for Community Input on the Decadal Survey of Ocean Sciences.
Session number: TH15H
