Workshop Agenda and Participant List
Review of the National Science Foundation’s
Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences
Draft Science Goals and Objectives
March 31‐April 1, 2014
National Academies’ Keck Center
Room Keck 100
500 Fifth St., NW
Washington, DC 20001
Workshop Goals
Workshop participants will review and discuss the draft Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS) draft science goals and objectives. The following key questions will be addressed:
- Are the goals and objectives clear and appropriate?
- Are there any content areas missing from the draft that should be present if AGS is to achieve its overall vision and mission?
- Are there adequate mechanisms for coordinating and integrating issues that involve multiple disciplines and multiple divisions within NSF and other agencies within the atmospheric and geospace sciences enterprise?
The workshop also includes a brief, forward‐looking session where participants will discuss “research frontiers” AGS might consider pursuing in light of the goals and objectives that have been identified (and those that have been acknowledged as missing).
