... .2 To fulfill that request, the National Academies convened an ad hoc committee of volunteer experts to prepare a consensus study report that will include a set of high-priority scientific questions central to the advancement of Earth sciences; an analysis of the EAR research infrastructure investment portfolio; and a discussion of how EAR can leverage and complement the capabilities, expertise, and strategic plans of other NSF units, federal agencies, and other domestic and international partners. As an additional, integrated part of the study, EAR requested that the National Academies organize a workshop to address different management models for future seismological and geodetic facility capabilities -- specifically (1)

... and international scientific facilities, and EAR and National Academies staff. BOX 1.1 Catalyzing Opportunities for Research in the Earth Sciences Statement of Task This National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine study will help provide advice that the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences can use to set prior ities and strategies for its investments on research, infrastructure, and training in the coming decade.

... The CORES consensus study committee was asked by EAR to identify future science priorities and infrastructure needs for the Earth science research community over the next decade. The workshop planning committee, on the other hand, was asked to plan an agenda to consider management models that could accommodate instrumentation, user support services, data management, education and outreach, and workforce development capabilities of future seismological and geodetic facilities.

... The first session introduced workshop participants to the current and future capabilities of seismological and geodetic facilities as defined in a 2015 community workshop report.4 The second session introduced management models of multiple scientific facilities, including SAGE and GAGE, through presentations and discussions with facility managers. The third session focused on how management and decision-making models might be applied to seismological and geodetic facilities.
