National Research Council Conducts Ocean Science Survey
study, sponsored by the NSF, is to review the current state of knowledge, identify compelling scientific questions for the next decade, analyze infrastructure needed to address these questions vs. the current NSF portfolio, and identify opportunities to maximize the value of NSF investments. The DSOS committee feels strongly that this report must be informed by broad and thoughtful community input from across the entire spectrum of ocean sciences supported by NSF. One of the ways the DSOS soliciting community input is through a Virtual Town Hall:http://nas-sites.org/dsos2015/. The site provides more

Guidance for NSF on National Ocean Research Priorities
science and policy. Statement of Task The committee for the Decadal Survey of Ocean Sciences 2015 (DSOS) will develop a list of the top ocean science priorities for the next decade in the context of the current state of knowledge, ongoing research activities, and resource availability. The DSOS committee’s report will present compelling research strategy for increased understanding of the oceans over the decade 2015-2025. The report will include the following elements: 1. A review of the current state of knowledge that highlights findings and technologies over the past decade that
