The science committees exist to provide a central place to ensure alignment of the facilities with the scientific goals of the consortium. The three major scientific themes of the SAGE proposal each has a corresponding science committee:
(1) Thermo-chemical internal dynamics and volatile distribution,
(2) Faulting and deformation processes, and
(3) Change and interactions among climate, hydrology, surface processes, and tectonics.
The charge to each of these three committees is identical although it is expected that individual committees will interpret and emphasize different aspects of the charge as appropriate for their particular agenda.
The committees’ charge is:
a) To revisit regularly the scientific goals and strategies pertaining to their area as articulated by the SAGE proposal
b) To identify the key facilities and services required to achieve their scientific goals
c) To evaluate the efficacy of the facilities in meeting their scientific needs
d) To identify new infrastructural needs that are required to meet their scientific challenges
