The study will (1) identify a concise set of high-priority scientific questions for the next decade, (2) assess infrastructure needed to address these questions, and (3) determine opportunities for more collaboration with other NSF divisions and directorates, federal agencies, and domestic and international partners. The complete statement of task <http://nas-sites.org/dels/studies/cores/cores-statement-of-task/> is available on the CORES website <http://nas-sites.org/dels/studies/cores/>. This study is sponsored by NSF. *Process* The study will be carried out by a committee of volunteers with expertise in a variety of Earth science and related disciplines under the direction of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The committee will hold a series of information-gathering meetings throughout late 2018 and 2019, will gather community input <https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/4717567/CORES-Community-Input> to inform their study charge, and write a report (to be delivered in early 2020). An overview of the Academiesâ?? study process can be found here <http://www.nationalacademies.org/studyprocess/index.html>. *Getting Involved* *The CORES committee seeks vigorous community input from across the entire spectrum of Earth sciences.* You are invited to: *1. **Provide input to the study by answering the community input questionnaire: https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/4717567/CORES-Community-Input <https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/4717567/CORES-Community-Input>* *2. **Visit our website and subscribe to the CORES listserv to receive updates and announcements: http://nas-sites.org/dels/studies/cores/ <http://nas-sites.org/dels/studies/cores/>* *Contact* Please direct any questions to study director Deborah Glickson ( dglickson@xxxxxxx). ============================================================== Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
