Committee on Earth Studies

The committee provides oversight on civil Earth observation space activities in the general areas of Earth sciences and other remote sensing applications. The scope of its oversight includes applicable technology, as well as all Earth science disciplines that can be addressed from space: the study of the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, geology and geophysics, global biology and ecology, and their interactions. The committee oversees ad hoc studies that identify policy issues and offer advice concerning priorities for civilian federal agencies with responsibility for Earth sciences research and operations.\
