The most recent decadal survey in Earth Science and Applications from Space (released in early 2018) identified key science questions and prioritized observational needs to advance U.S. efforts in Earth science and support critical applications such as climate modeling and weather prediction. At the request of NASA, this midterm assessment evaluates progress toward decadal survey goals.The report identifies potential strategies for managing the NASA Earth Science Division (ESD) portfolio, recommends ways to maintain programmatic balance and improve alignment with decadal survey priorities, and discusses how to prepare for the next decadal survey.
