Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

New NSF solicitation "Frontiers of Earth System Dynamics" (NSF 10-577)

Date: 06/18/2010

The NSF "Frontiers in Earth System Dynamics" (FESD) solicitation has been released and is available on the NSF website. The solicitation number is NSF 10-577, and the link and program synopsis are below.

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
