Geophysics Community Seeks Comments on Draft Report by July 20

A working draft of the report Future Geophysical Facilities Required to Address Grand Challenges in the Earth Sciences is now available.

The report represents an attempt to synthesize and distill the wide-range of contributions made by the community through webinars, white papers, workshop presentations and associated breakouts, and deliberations of the writing committee. The white papers and results from the workshop breakout groups are available from the main workshop page.

The Writing Committee welcomes your comments to improve the report, especially any important omissions or obvious errors. We are working under a short fuse given the limited amount of time allotted between the workshop and when this report will be presented to NSF on September 2, 2015.

Please send your detailed contributions to facilityfuture@iris.edu by July 20, 2015. To aid the Writing Committee, your comments should refer to a combination of section, page, and line numbers.  

We look forward to your feedback.
