Earth system science
The controlling influence of the core and mantle on a habitable planet
Scoping Studies
The awarded scoping studies are listed below. These teams will meet initially with the ESS Theme Leader to further plan their activities and studies will be completed between December 2011 and March 2012. There will be opportunities in early 2012 for the wider community to feed in via workshops and other mechanisms.
A project blog and interactive area 
has been set up.
If you require an invitation to join the secure area please contact Pete Tollan to gain access.
