Keywords: (Please provide 3 to 6 keywords to help us identify the science and technology topic of the white paper)
Narrative:
Your narrative should address one or more of the following questions that relate to the 2002 SESWG Report:
- What important science has emerged that advances the ESI science goals?
- In what ways does the emerging science require a revision of these primary goals?

NASA-ESI Workshop: Extended call for one-page white papers
From: James Davis <jdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
*****************************************************************************************************
This e-mail will be sent to multiple listservs, and we apologize if you receive multiple copies.
Dear Colleague,
Preparatory
to a November workshop at which we will revisit the strategic plan
for the NASA Earth Surface and Interior (ESI) Focus Area, we are
soliciting short white papers from the broad community that will help
inform discussion at the workshop and provide content for the report.
From a previous call, we have received a number of submissions, and due
to the interest we have decided to allow submission up to the workshop
start, and to broaden the call. The white papers will be provided to
all attendees of the workshop for discussion purposes, but will not be
published or otherwise be generally made available. Some of the figures
may be used in the report to be prepared after the workshop, with the
permission of the authors. You do not need to attend the workshop to
submit a white paper.
The current strategic plan was set down in the 2002 document Living on a Restless Planet, the report of the Solid Earth Science Working Group (SESWG), available at
The
goal of this workshop is to update the long-term science strategy
outlined in SESWG by bringing the SESWG report up to date where
necessary, identifying particular opportunities linked to upcoming NASA
missions, and revising the primary science goals as appropriate. The
ESI science goals are expressed in terms of questions, of which the
primary ones are:
I. What is the nature of deformation at plate boundaries and what are the implications for earthquake hazards?
II. How do tectonics and climate interact to shape the Earth’s surface and create natural hazards?
III. What are the interactions among ice masses, oceans, and the Solid Earth and their implications for sea-level change?
IV. How do magmatic systems evolve and under what conditions do volcanoes erupt?
V. What are the dynamics of the mantle and crust and how does the Earth’s surface respond?
VI.
What are the dynamics of the Earth’s magnetic field and its
interactions with the Earth system? (In a previous e-mail, this goal
was inadvertently omitted.)
Each white paper should address the following issues:
1. What important science has emerged that advances the ESI science goals?
2. In what ways does the emerging science require a revision of these primary goals?
3. What are the current driving scientific questions?
4.
In what ways do current and upcoming NASA missions or other emerging
technologies provide an opportunity for addressing these goals?
The white-page papers should be limited to one page, including figures. Please attach them to an e-mail and send them to nasa.esi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx by November 1, 2015. Multiple white papers from one first author are acceptable.
This call is separate from the recent call for white papers for the NRC Decadal Survey.
A suggested template is below.
Best,
Jim Davis
