  1. NSF Perspectives Presentation at the US THORPEX-Legacy Planning Meeting June 5-6 2014

  2. Key points • US science community needs to organize. What are your priorities? What are your best science plans? • Hazards SEES and PREEVENTS are possible “homes” for your proposals • We support the goals of NOAA’s WRN • Support community models and data assimilation • Opportunity within AGS: VSO • Exploring concept of and requirements for a university-based, real-time ensemble forecast system • AGS Goals and Objectives

  3. PREEVENTS (Prediction and Resilience against Extreme EVENTS) • In many respects, extreme events is at the heart of what GEO supports (e.g., earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, floods, abrupt climate change, permafrost thawing, drought, land slides, tsunami, etc.). • Possible partners – other agencies, and other NSF Directorates • Currently supporting SEES Hazard. PREEVENTS will be the follow on program

  4. Opportunities within AGS and NSF • AGS Dear Colleague Letter • NSF/NCEP Visiting Scientist DCL is published: • http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2013/nsf13117/nsf13117.jsp • NSF solicitations • Solicitation due dates: • http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_list.jsp?org=NSF&ord=date

  5. Visiting Scientist Opportunity NCEP NSF • NCEP POC and PI discuss compatibility and logistics. • If agreed, PI writes draft supplemental request to submit to NCEP. • NCEP POC gets Center Director approval and provides letter of intent to collaborate • If approved by Center Director, PI submits supplemental request and NCEP POC letter of intent to collaborate to NSF • PI reviews NOAA spreadsheet for focus areas relevant to their grant • Contacts their cognizant program director to discuss intent • If agreed, PI makes contact with the NCEP POC • NSF program director makes recommendation to support or decline request • If approved, notification sent to NCEP by cognizant NSF program director. VSO Begins!! Link to DCL: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2013/nsf13117/nsf13117.jsp?org=AGS Link to NCEP's areas of interest/focus page: http://www.ncep.noaa.gov/vsp/

  6. AGS Goals and Objectives • Goal 1: OBSERVE, UNDERSTAND, AND MODEL EXTREME EVENTS AND NATURAL HAZARDS • Goal 2: ADVANCE THE STATE OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF EARTH’S CLIMATE • Goal 3: EXPAND KNOWLEDGE OF EARTH’S ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION AND BEHAVIOR • Goal 4: UNDERSTAND THE SUN and GEOSPACE ENVIRONMENT AS A COUPLED SYSTEM • Goal 5: PROVIDE RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE TO ADVANCE THE AGS COMMUNITY • Goal 6: BUILD A DIVERSE SCIENTIFIC WORKFORCE

  7. Thank you
