Two Scoping Studies for Future Field Campaigns

NASA’s Terrestrial Ecology Program has a long and rich history of successfully mounting intensive field campaigns, including BOREAS, LBA-ECO, and the Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE). In ROSES 2022 the Terrestrial Ecology Program solicited proposals for scoping studies to 1) identify the scientific questions, (2) develop an initial study design, and (3) propose an implementation concept for a new field campaign that could be implemented on a six- to nine-year time frame. In May 2023, two scoping studies were selected. In September 2024, draft reports from the scoping studies were released for public comment.
