National Academies Launch ESAS 2028 Decadal Survey for Earth Science from Space
Summary
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is conducting the "ESAS 2028" Decadal Survey for Earth Science and Applications from Space (2028–2037). This community-driven effort builds on the 2018 decadal survey to develop a comprehensive, fiscally realistic strategy for addressing the highest-priority Earth science and applications challenges through space-based and ancillary observations over the coming decade. The survey uses a Request for Information (RFI) process to gather broad community input.
