Second Decadal Survey in Solar and Space Physics
New National Research Council Report Presents Research Program for Solar and Space Physics Over the Next Decade
“A new report from the National Research Council presents a prioritized program of basic and applied research for 2013-2022 that will advance scientific understanding of the sun, sun-Earth connections and the origins of “space weather,” and the sun’s interactions with other bodies in the solar system. This second decadal survey in solar and space physics — the product of a 18-month effort by more than 85 solar and space physicists and space system engineers — lays out four scientific goals for the next 10 years along with guiding principles and recommended actions.”
