... Within NASA, the report from a 1982 workshop, Global Change: Impacts on Habitability: A Scieniifir Basis for Assessment and subsequent reports, most notably the 1988 report Earth System Science: A Program for Global Change, similarly helped to develop consensus within the scientific community on the needs for national and international research programs to understand global change. These reports collectively provide a rigorous assessment of the state of science and gaps in knowledge needed to improve understanding of natural and anthropogenic changes in the global environment, and they form the basis for assessing the federal research plan.
