NASA Earth Science Community:

NASA's Earth Science Division has planned a three-day symposium to  
examine
our scientific accomplishments during the twenty years following the
initiation of Earth System Science (ESS) as an integrated scientific
discipline, significantly enhanced by the global perspective of space,  
while
considering future plans and challenges for the next twenty years of  
ESS at
NASA.

The web site for the Symposium is up and running and is located at:
http://dels.nas.edu/osb/nasa.shtml, and contains information on the
Symposium, including an agenda and on-line registration capability.

We would like to invite you to participate in the symposium  
entitled,"NASA
Earth System Science at 20: Accomplishments, Plans, and Challenges" to  
take
place at the National Academy of Sciences located at 2100 C St. N.W.,
Washington, D.C., USA) from 22-24 June 2009. The National Academy of
Sciences' Space Studies Board, Ocean Studies Board, and Board on Earth
Sciences and Resources will co-host the event. The meeting has been
organized by a planning committee from the science community with
backgrounds that span the breadth of science and engineering that have  
been
part of NASA Earth Science's history.

Please join us as we take a revealing look at our past while charting  
our
future.
