Abstract
Forging Partnerships with Other Federal Programs: NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Scientific Ocean Drilling
Highlights
The Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal survey Statement of Task, point #8 states: “The opportunities for collaborative research that are relevant to science priorities between SMD’s four science divisions; between NASA SMD and the other NASA mission directorates; between NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF); between NASA and other US government entities; between NASA and private sector organizations; between NASA and its international partners”
The Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal survey Statement of Task, point #8 states: “The opportunities for collaborative research that are relevant to science priorities between SMD’s four science divisions; between NASA SMD and the other NASA mission directorates; between NASA and the NSF; between NASA and other US government entities; between NASA and private sector organizations; between NASA and its international partners”. This white paper highlights potential collaborative research opportunities between the NASA-SMD and the National Science Foundation (NSF) that can be achieved through mutual scientific interests, and that can have a significant impact on Earth and planetary science over the decade
This program transformed from a focus on exploration during DSDP to more targeted, hypothesis-driven science aimed at understanding fundamental processes during the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP, 1985–2003), the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP, 2003–2013), and the current International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP, 2013–2023) (Koppers et al, 2019)
Summary
The Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal survey Statement of Task, point #8 states: “The opportunities for collaborative research that are relevant to science priorities between SMD’s four science divisions (for example, comparative planetology approaches to exoplanet or astrobiology research); between NASA SMD and the other NASA mission directorates; between NASA and the NSF; between NASA and other US government entities; between NASA and private sector organizations; between NASA and its international partners”. This white paper highlights potential collaborative research opportunities between the NASA-SMD and the National Science Foundation (NSF) that can be achieved through mutual scientific interests, and that can have a significant impact on Earth and planetary science over the decade.
