Abstract
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Advisory Committee for Environmental Research and Education (ACERE) is drafting a 10 year vision for ERE at NSF. The Vision document will update previous ERE reports over the past decade. The working title of this document due in spring 2015 is America’s Future: Environmental Research and Education for a Thriving Century
The report will include:
-
Understanding the challenges and opportunities of complex environmental systems.
-
Designing the future: science, engineering, humans and control.
-
Securing the future with sustaining the future with a sound environment.
-
Enabling the future: big/small data; infrastructure.
The AESS conference will be one of the first public presentations of the report. This plenary presentation will include responses from AESS members from different components of environmental research and education - life science, geophysical science, social science and humanities. All conference participants will have an opportunity to participate in Q & A in the plenary discussion or in the follow up discussion symposium facilitated by Dr. Blockstein.
