[CIG-ALL] New NSF solicitation "Frontiers of Earth System Dynamics" NSF 10-577

[Louise Kellogg]

Dear CIG community:

NSF has issued a new solicitation on the Frontiers of Earth System Dynamics which should be of interest to the CIG community. Robin Reichlin has asked me to forward the following information to you.

Best wishes,

Louise Kellogg

> Synopsis: The Earth is often characterized as "dynamic" because its systems
> are variable over space and time, and they can respond rapidly to multiple
> perturbations. The goals of the Frontiers in Earth-System Dynamics (FESD)
> program are to: (1) foster an inter-disciplinary and multi-scale
> understanding of the interplay among and within the various sub-systems of
> the Earth, (2) catalyze research in areas poised for a major advance, (3)
> improve data resolution and modeling capabilities to more realistically
> simulate complex processes and forecast disruptive or threshold events, and
> (4) improve knowledge of the resilience of the Earth and its subsystems.
> 
> Deadlines:  
> Preliminary Proposals: October 1, 2010
> Full (Invited) Proposals:  March 15, 2011
