The solicitation number is NSF<br>10-577, and the link and program synopsis are below.<br><br><br>Synopsis: The Earth is often characterized as "dynamic" because its systems<br>are variable over space and time, and they can respond rapidly to multiple<br>perturbations. The goals of the Frontiers in Earth-System Dynamics (FESD)<br>program are to: (1) foster an inter-disciplinary and multi-scale<br>understanding of the interplay among and within the various sub-systems of<br>the Earth, (2) catalyze research in areas poised for a major advance, (3)<br>improve data resolution and modeling capabilities to more realistically<br>simulate complex processes and forecast disruptive or threshold events, and<br>(4) improve knowledge of the resilience of the Earth and its subsystems.<br><br>Deadlines: <br>Preliminary Proposals: October 1, 2010<br>Full (Invited) Proposals: March 15, 2011<br><br><a href="http://nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10577/nsf10577.htm">http://nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10577/nsf10577.htm</a><br><br><br></div></blockquote></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Palatino; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></font></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
