In late 2010, NASA requested that the NRC create an ad hoc committee to review the alignment of NASAs Earth Science Divisions program with previous NRC advice, primarily that offered in the decadal surveys 2007 final report, Earth Science and Applications from Space.3 The agency was responding to a provision in Section 301(a) of the 2005 NASA Authorization Act requiring that the performance of each division in the Science directorate of NASA shall be reviewed and assessed by the National Academy of Sciences at 5-year intervals. The resulting ad hoc Committee on the Assessment of NASAs Earth Science Program was asked to assess the following (see Appendix A for the statement of task): 1. How well NASAs current program addresses the strategies, goals, and priorities outlined in the 2007 decadal survey and other relevant NRC reports; 2. Progress toward realizing these strategies, goals, and priorities; and 3. In the context of current and forecast resources, any actions that could be taken to optimize the science value of the program.
