Dear Deep Earth Researcher:
This report was the result of a workshop held at UC San Diego, La Jolla, CA in 2004. Thanks to the many individuals who provided material and thoughtful comments on the resulting report, CSEDI 2004 -
Developments, Discoveries, Future, which was published in September 2004. You can download the pdf document here.

S ciences (COMPRES) is a community-based consortium whose goal is to enable Earth Science researchers to conduct the next generation of high-pressure science on world-class equipment and facilities. It facilitates the operation of beam lines, the development of new technologies for high pressure research, and advocates for science and educational programs to the various funding agencies. www.compres.us

National Science Foundation Cooperative Studies of Earth's Deep Interior (CSEDI).
Funding will 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.
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).
