Geosciences Core Research: Atmospheric, Geospace, Earth and Ocean Sciences (GEO Core)
Funds foundational research across the whole of the geosciences — atmosphere, near-Earth space, solid Earth and ocean — with no deadline.
This is the single front door to three NSF geosciences programmes: Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, Earth Sciences, and Ocean Sciences.
Between them they cover the Earth's atmosphere and the near-Earth space environment, the solid Earth and its surface processes, and every field of ocean science. A proposal can sit inside one domain or span several.
NSF states its appetite plainly, and it is u…
Foundational research across the geosciences in three programmes — atmospheric and geospace sciences, Earth sciences including solid Earth and surface processes, and all fields of ocean science. Proposals may sit in one domain or cross several.
