[kkk] - ESAn EO tiedestrategia: Kommentoi alustavia tiedekysymyksiä / Science Question feedback period extended: ESA EO Science Strategy Workshop (deadline 21/07/23)

[Tamminen Johanna (FMI)]

Hei kaikki,

Nyt on mahdollisuus vaikuttaa ESA:n EO tiedestrategiaan! Ks. sähköposti alla.
You have now the possibility to give input to ESA EO science strategy. See e-mail below.

ESA kerää inputtia EO tiedestrategiaan ja haluaa kommentteja alustaviin tiedekysymyksiin, jotka on generoitu ESAn rahoittamassa SSFS (Science Strategy Foundation Study) projektissa.  ESA järjesti viime viikolla 200 hengen workshopin (https://atpi.eventsair.com/science-strategy-workshop-2023/) näistä tiedekysymyksistä. Kiinnostus oli suurta ja siellä päätettiin vielä jatkaa kommenttien keräämistä tiedeyhteisöltä. Kysely on nyt laajennettu muillekin kuin työpajan osallistujille.

Puuttuuko tärkeitä teemoja? Muita kommentteja?

Kommentteja voi antaa vielä 21.7. 2023 asti nettisivulla:
https://atpi.eventsair.com/science-strategy-workshop-2023/community-feedback

How does the solid Earth deform under present and past ice loads and what does it tell us about its rheology ?

How do active faults respond to stress perturbations associated with the water cycle, and what are the relative contributions of climate extremes and human activities ?

Can we observe, model and forecast the deformation processes during the seismic cycle at plate boundaries, from pre- to post-seismic phases and during the inter-seismic phase?

Can we estimate the tsunami potential of an earthquake in real-time ?

How does Earth’s crust evolve in interaction with internal geodynamic processes, and how does this reshape the Earth’s surface over the long- term ?

What is the nature of the mantle heterogeneity and the character of its convection at all depths ?

What is the dynamics of the fluid outer core at short timescales, and how is it coupled with the mantle ?

How does soil status control Earth system cycles and influence surface-air exchange processes?

Dear Workshop Participants,

Your feedback received after the EO Science Strategy workshop last week in Bruges was largely positive, indicating that the event was successful and beneficial. The Workshop was judged to have provided a unique opportunity for the wider EO community to help ESA shape the future science strategy. We would like to thank the many of you who attended in person and your participation and engagement during the workshop plenary and splinter sessions.

We would like to follow up on one of the important community recommendations: to allow for further feedback on the Candidate Science Questions (CSQs) that were presented and discussed during the workshop. The workshop website has been updated to include a Community Feedback webpage<https://atpi.eventsair.com/science-strategy-workshop-2023/community-feedback> which will allow interested EO scientists to review the CSQs, make comments and/or recommendations on how these can be improved and if required identify and document Candidate Science Questions not yet identified through the EO Science Strategy Foundation study.

Please note that Community Feedback webpage is open to all EO scientists, not only workshop participants. We plan to keep this feedback webpage open for your inputs until July 21st and look forward to your feedback by then. Your inputs will reviewed and considered both in the context of the above study, as well as later in the formulation of the strategy within ESA.

With kind regards,
On behalf of the Organising Committee,
