(chiefly col.)  a"Committee on New Research Opportunities in the Earth Sciences at the National Science Foundation ; Board on Earth Sciences and Resources ; Division on Earth and Life Studies."  aIncludes bibliographical references.  a"Identifies new and emerging research opportunities in the earth sciences over the next decade, including surface and deep earth processes and interdisciplinary research with fields such as ocean and atmospheric sciences, biology, engineering, computer science, and social and behavioral sciences. The report also identifies key instrumentation and facilities needed to support these new and emerging research opportunities. The report describes opportunities for increased cooperation in these new and emerging areas between EAR and other government agency programs, industry, and international programs, and suggests new ways that EAR can help train the next generation of Earth scientists, support young investigators, and increase the participation of underrepresented groups in the field." --Publisher's web site.  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2011.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries. 0aEarth sciencesxResearchzUnited States. 0aInterdisciplinary researchzUnited States. 7aElectronic books.2local2 aNational Research Council (U.S.).bCommittee on New Research Opportunities in the Earth Sciences at the National Science Foundation.2 aNational Research Council (U.S.).bBoard on Earth Sciences and Resources.2 aional Research Council (U.S.).bDivision on Earth and Life Studies.2 aebrary, Inc.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10557790zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view  c87744d87744
