Scientific Advisory Board


The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) provides independent external peer evaluation and assessment of scientific research conducted by the Center. The SAB members consist of individuals from organizations that are not Members of EARTH but with knowledge of the topic and ability to devote sufficient attention to ensure a rigorous scientific research agenda. The SAB appointments are by invitation from the Center Director and Deputy Director. The SAB convenes at least twice per year to evaluate the Center’s research direction, including once during the Annual Meeting.
