Description
The National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)is
releasing a Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN), on August 20, 2010 for the
Goddard Earth Sciences Technology And Research (GESTAR) Studies and
Investigations. GESTAR studies and Investigations will conduct research
collaboratively with Goddards Science and Exploration
Directorate (Code 610). It is anticipated that the relative emphasis of research
activities will evolve as a function of priorities of funding opportunities. The
participating components of Code 610 are in the Laboratory for Atmospheres, the
Hydrospheric and Biospheric
Science Laboratory, the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office, and the
Software Integration and Visualization Office. Under this agreement GSFC and
external scientists assigned to GESTAR will cooperatively carry out
experimental, analytical, and theoretical research in support of NASAs strategic
earth science objectives relating to:(a) Research on all aspects of the Earth
system-the atmosphere, the biosphere, the oceans, the solid earth; (b)
Information and computational sciences addressing the unique needs of data
systems and outreach for the Earth Sciences; and(c) The technology that is
required to achieve the scientific challenges and the economic affordability of
the Planetary Sciences. Specific scientific areas addressed include:(a)
Atmospheric Aerosols (b) Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems(c) Climate Modeling and
Analysis (d) Oceanography(e) Terrestrial Water Cycle(f) Weather and Short-term
Climate(g) Earth Rotational and Gravitational Dynamics(h) Planetary Analog
Studies (i) Sun-Earth Connection Studies Participation
