Science Desk

In Short: NASA has introduced a new research opportunity under A.17 Hydrosphere, focusing on the Earth's water cycle across oceans, land, and atmosphere, as detailed in ROSES-25 Amendment 72.

NASA has expanded its Earth science research opportunities with the introduction of A.17 Hydrosphere, a new element under the ROSES-25 program. This initiative aims to advance understanding of the Earth's water cycle, encompassing ocean physics, terrestrial hydrology, and precipitation science.

The A.17 Hydrosphere element is designed to address fundamental questions about the distribution, movement, and transformation of water across the Earth system. It encourages research that broadens the scope of these topics to other earth science disciplines.

This new opportunity, detailed in ROSES-25 Amendment 72, seeks to accelerate scientific advancements in the Earth's water cycle, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the planet's hydrological processes.

What's confirmed

What's still developing

A.17 Hydrosphere solicits research on the Earth's Hydrosphere: to advance the understanding of the physics of Earth’s water across the ocean, land, and the atmosphere.
This Hydrosphere element is composed of three Earth science disciplines: ocean physics, terrestrial hydrology, and precipitation science.
The overlapping goals of are to address fundamental questions about the distribution, movement, and transformation of water across the Earth system.
A fourth subelement encourages the broadening of scope of these topics to other earth science disciplines across and outside of these core disciplines.
ROSES-2025 Amendment 72 releases A.17 Hydrosphere as a new opportunity in ROSES-25.
