Cooperative Studies of the Earth's Deep Interior (CSEDI)
Important announcement: the
new call for
NSF's CSEDI program has been released.
The deadline for future years will be August 25 of each year,
(The 2004 deadline was
Sept. 20, 2004.)
Dear Deep Earth Researcher:
Thanks to the many individuals who provided material and thoughtful
comments on the draft CSEDI Document. All of your contributions
improved the final document, which is now going to press and will be
available in print form soon. You can download the pdf document here.

NSF's
Cooperative Studies of the Earth's Deep Interior Program
NSF's CSEDI program is a Special Emphasis area to support basic
research on the character and dynamics of the Earth's mantle and core,
their influence on the evolution of the Earth as a whole, and on
processes operating within the deep interior that affect or are
expressed on the Earth's surface. Stay tuned for updates to this
program announcement.
The
American Geophysical Union has a variety of activities related to deep
earth research, including focus groups on Studies of
Earth's Deep
Interior and Mineral
and Rock Physics.
The Cooperative Institute for Deep Earth
Research (CIDER) is a proposed initiative to promote progress in
our understanding of the
fundamental global scale dynamic processes of the Earth's interior
through an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach that
combines knowledge and latest achievements in each of the relevant
disciplines: geochemistry, geodynamics, geomagnetism, seismology and
mineral physics.
SEDI
is an international scientific organization dedicated to the
Study of the Earth's Deep Interior. The
ultimate goal of SEDI is an enhanced understanding of the past
evolution
and current thermal, dynamical and chemical state of the Earth's deep
interior and of the effect that the interior has on the structures and
processes observed at the surface of the Earth. SEDI is a Union
Committee of the International Union
of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG).
