Release of the NSF Geospace Portfolio Review Report.

NSF’s Advisory Committee for Geosciences has released the report titled: Investments in Critical Capabilities for Geospace Science 2016 to 2025.  The report is the result of a portfolio review of the Geospace Section of the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences conducted over the last year by an external panel of community experts and leaders.   More information on the review can be found here: http://www.nsf.gov/geo/ags/geospace-portfolio-review-2015/ <http://www.nsf.gov/geo/ags/geospace-portfolio-review-2015/> 

The final report is available here: https://www.nsf.gov/geo/geoac_subcomm_rpts.jsp <https://www.nsf.gov/geo/geoac_subcomm_rpts.jsp> 

The Geospace community owes the members of the committee a huge debt of gratitude  for taking on this important and difficult challenge for the community.  The review was an immense effort, which the committee carried out, under the eminent leadership of Chair Bill Lotko, with impeccable integrity and bringing to the task both deep insights and broad perspective as well as creativity and courage.   

An independent assessment of the report will be carried out by the National Academies of Sciences.  More information on this process can be found here:  http://sites.nationalacademies.org/SSB/CurrentProjects/SSB_169109 <http://sites.nationalacademies.org/SSB/CurrentProjects/SSB_169109>
