Thriving on Our Changing Planet: A Midterm Assessment of NASA’s Implementation of the Decadal Survey

In 2018, the National Academies released Thriving on Our Changing Planet: A Decadal Strategy for Earth Observation from Space.  The decadal survey identified key science questions and prioritized observational needs to advance U.S. efforts in Earth science and support critical applications such as climate modeling and weather prediction.  In the past few years, the need for actionable data and better scientific information on Earth’s interacting systems has increased in urgency, as global climate change accelerates coupled with increasing numbers of extreme weather events.

At the request of Congress and NASA, the National Academies organized a midterm assessment to evaluate progress and recommend actions to meet decadal survey priorities. Learn more about the report by joining us for a report release webinar on Thursday, July 11 at 3pm ET.  During the webinar, the study co-chairs will discuss ways that NASA’s Earth Science Division can maintain programmatic balance and improve alignment with decadal survey priorities, strategies for managing budgetary pressures, and how to prepare for the next decadal survey.
