... We request that the Space Studies Board take the lead in establishing a study committee that draws on the range of the NRC's expertise in Earth science, remote sensing, and the practical applications of geospatial data to review the Applications Strategy. The emphasis in this strategy is on extending the use of Earth science observations and prediction capabilities by partnering with national organizations, such as sister federal, state and local agencies, to realize socioeconomic benefits by serving the public through decision support systems.
