CEDAR email: Quo Vadis Workshop Report Available

[Michael Wiltberger]

Scientists from across the geospace domain participated Exploring the
Geospace Frontier: Quo Vadis workshop sponsored by NSF.  The main goal was
to identify mechanisms for advancing space weather observations and
prediction capabilities. The collective of nearly 100 space scientists
reached a consensus that now is the time to invest in infrastructure and
observational facilities to meet the societal need and scientific
challenges posed by Space Weather. Workshop presenters outlined numerous
observing strategies and platform concepts, each with the potential to
transform space weather forecast capability in one or another domain. All
considered it imperative to develop a conceptual community-wide NSF Major
Research Equipment Facilities Construction (MREFC) proposal to bring these
platform concepts together into an end-to-end (dedicated) space weather
research facility. To develop this plan further, it was determined that we
must, as a community-leading group, invest time to evaluate, prioritize,
and scope the components of such a cross-cutting initiative.

The full workshop report for the 2016 Quo Vadis Workshop is now available

The workshop organizing committee thanks all those that participated in the
workshop and looks forward to further developments in this exciting project.
