"Twenty years ago NASA embarked on a revolutionary new mission for its Earth science program: to study our home planet from space as an interrelated whole, rather than as individual parts," the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said. "To acknowledge this milestone, NASA is holding a symposium June 22-24 to examine the accomplishments of 20 years of NASA's Earth system science program and discuss what discoveries and opportunities lay ahead."
The symposium -- "NASA Earth System Science at 20: Accomplishments, Plans and Challenges" -- will be held at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington.
