The biennial NASA Solid Earth Team (SET) meeting offers opportunities for interactions among the broad Earth Surface and Interior (ESI) community. The 2024 SET - CORE 2.0 meeting focused on collecting community input to inform the next ten-year vision for ESI, building on the 2016 Challenges and Opportunities in ESI (CORE) Report. The meeting was held on September 16-18, 2024 in Washington, DC.

​

We invite the Earth Surface & Interior community to submit whitepapers in support of the science questions, key observables, challenges, or other topics that the community feels should be reflected in the upcoming CORE 2.0 report.  As a reminder, this exercise updates the previous CORE report on NASA’s Challenges and Opportunities for Research in ESI, as such will guide priorities and challenges in the Earth Surfaces and Interior focus area, and may also inform the upcoming 2027 National Academies’ Decadal Survey for Earth Science and Applications from Space.  A key goal is for the CORE 2.0 report to reflect the progress that has been made over the past decade, identify the most important challenges and opportunities, as well as its role in underlying any ongoing scientific questions that continue to be of interest to the community at large.

​

We request that whitepapers be submitted to Florian Schwandner (florian.m.schwandner@nasa.gov) and Rowena Lohman (rbl62@cornell.edu) by December 1, 2024 end of the day. Please use the template found here ►
