About the Author

The Committee on Catalyzing Opportunities for Research in the Earth Sciences (CORES), a distinguished panel convened by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, serves as a pivotal force in shaping the future of geoscientific inquiry. Tasked with providing strategic guidance to the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences, CORES delivers comprehensive decadal surveys that outline visionary priorities, foster innovative research agendas, and address pressing global challenges such as climate change, natural hazards, and resource sustainability. Through rigorous analysis and expert consensus, the committee's work empowers scientists, policymakers, and educators to advance our understanding of Earth's dynamic systems, ensuring that NSF-funded initiatives remain at the forefront of discovery and societal impact for the coming decade.
