The biennial Solid Earth Team (SET) meeting offers opportunities for interactions among the broader Earth Surface and Interior (ESI) community, sharing of ESI research highlights, information about upcoming missions, solicitations, and research opportunities, as well as training sessions and tutorials on key capabilities for the ESI community. The program also includes discussions to collect community input that could help inform future projects, campaigns, or funding opportunities.

The 2022 SET meeting is scheduled for November 8-10 at the Scripps Seaside Forum, 8610 Kennel Way, La Jolla, CA. The meeting will be preceded by an Early Career Day on November 7.

The NASA Solid-Earth Team includes investigators funded by ESI and related NASA research programs, associated postdocs, graduate students and their advisors, and members of mission science teams working on topics relevant to ESI. Other researchers and program managers with an interest in ESI are also encouraged to attend.

Your attendance at the 2022 SET meeting indicates your acceptance of the below Code of Conduct

The NASA Solid Earth Team Meeting (SET) and Earth Surface and Interior (ESI) Community Code of Conduct

The ESI community takes pride in the depth and breadth of its collaborations, bringing together early-career to senior researchers from all backgrounds and disciplines to improve our understanding of all aspects of ESI-funded science. We recognize that diversity in our community is critical to the robustness of this science and that working groups, workshops, field activities, and bi-annual meetings enable our community to collaborate over sustained periods, building strong interpersonal networks that promote intellectual exchange and mutual support. This Code of Conduct (CoC) outlines specific expectations for participants at all ESI-supported events. We are committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment for all meeting participants, including, but not limited to, attendees, presenters, staff, service providers, and accompanying guests. This Code applies to all SET events where the community gathers for the purposes of advancing SET-related goals, including online meetings, field trips and social events, held at the event venue or off-site.
