Strategic Framework for Education and Diversity,
Facilities, International Activities, and Data and Informatics in
the Geosciences, 2012
After issuing GEO Vision in 2009, AC GEO
recognized that an examination of the underlying and cross-cutting
foundational areas for the geosciences was necessary in meeting
the research challenges and related recommendations. In concert
with the NSF Directorate for Geosciences, AC GEO formed four subcommittees
in order to strategize and more carefully examine the underlying
themes that cut across and support the geosciences. This report
outlines strategic plans in the four areas--education and diversity,
facilities, international activities, and data and informatics.

GEO Vision, 2009
In 1999, the NSF Advisory Committee for Geosciences (AC-GEO) published
NSF Geosciences
Beyond 2000. A long-range strategy document for the GEO
Directorate, this report was developed through collaborative efforts
among leading geoscientists and researchers in government, academia,
and business. By 2005, the AC-GEO recognized that the report had
served the Directorate well, but that in the intervening years,
new opportunities in science and emerging technological developments
suggested that the plan should be revisited. The AC-GEO chartered
the GEO Vision Working Group to develop
an updated plan. This report is the result of that effort.
