3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 From: Curtis Williams <curwilli@xxxxxxx> Dear Colleague: Discovery of new planets orbiting other stars has driven forward the discussion of exoplanets, that centers on the concept of habitability, e.g., having environments that can support liquid water. Research on the habitability of other worlds would benefit from the application of methods and results from a variety of geoscience disciplines that have addressed similar questions relating to the climate, upper atmosphere, magnetosphere, volatile cycles, and early evolution of the Earth. Conversely, research that considers the Earth in the context of planetary bodies accessible to astronomical observations could offer new insights and fresh perspectives for geoscience. For the purposes of this Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), "other worlds" refers to planetary bodies that are both outside our solar system (exoplanets) and within (e.g., Venus, Titan, Ganymede, asteroids, and comets), and projects could include remote observations, model simulations, or the direct study of derived materials. This DCL is to inform the community that NSF's Divisions of Earth Sciences (EAR), Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS), and Astronomical Sciences (AST) encourage the submission of proposals that bring together researchers and experts to develop projects which: 1) use the study of other worlds as a way to broaden and deepen our understanding of the Earth and its evolution, including all processes and systems from the core to the magnetosphere, and/or 2) use our geoscience knowledge to understand the environments of other worlds. Science drivers include but are not limited to: - What can the study of other worlds reveal about the first billion years of Earth history? - What can the study of other worlds reveal about Earth's past and its future climate? - What can the study of other worlds reveal about interactions between the Earth and space environment? - What can the study of Earth's systems reveal about environments and processes that shape other worlds? - How can our basic science understanding of Earth processes and systems guide the identification of other habitable worlds? Successful projects will include creative, integrative, and effective broader impacts activities developed within the context of the mission, goals, and resources of the organizations involved, and should be reflected in the expertise of collaborators, the proposal budget, and budget justification.
