Defining Priorities for NASA in Ocean Ecology and Biogeochemistry: 2017–2027


Session ID#: 11240

Session Description:
The next Decadal Survey for Earth Science, due out in 2017, will establish the observational needs and priorities for NASA, USGS and NOAA and will help guide the development of future space-based missions. NASA’s Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry Program is facilitating the development of a pre-Decadal Survey report that will identify the most pressing science questions and gaps in our understanding of ocean carbon-climate-ecosystem processes and prioritize new technology, modeling, and instrument/mission needs for the next decade. This townhall will engage the ocean community in reviewing and commenting on the OBB pre-Decadal Survey report.
