NASA intends this meeting to be the first in a series of workshops and activities to involve the community in the refinement of the DESDynI mission and to thereby ensure optimal return to science and society. The timing of this first workshop reflects NASA’s great desire to move forward expeditiously in responding to the Decadal Survey’s recommendations and our anticipation of a number of events in the next fiscal year for which community input on the mission will be critical. The workshop will produce a report that responds to the following charge:
DESDynI Workshop Charge: Examine the DESDynI mission as recommended by the National Research Council in light of the scientific goals articulated in its panel chapters
• Articulate the expected scientific return of DESDynI
• Identify the potential synergistic approaches with respect to ICESat-II and other space-based missions
• Recommend next steps for mission refinement, additional research, and consideration of other space-based observations that are required to meet the expressed scientific goals to be addressed by DESDynI
All future communications about this workshop will go only to people who have registered. A preliminary agenda for the DESDynI workshop is posted on this website and will be updated as more detailed information becomes available.
