Subject:  Plasma 2020 Decadal Assessment: Call for White Papers - Extended
Deadline March 8



Dear Colleague,



     The US National Academies Decadal Assessment of Plasma Science (
http://nas.edu/plasma) - Plasma 2020 – has extended the deadline for white
papers to March 8 owing to the government shutdown.  We look forward to
receiving your input.  The original call for white papers follows.



     The US National Academies has recently started the Decadal Assessment
of Plasma Science (http://nas.edu/plasma) - Plasma 2020.  As with the
previous decadal assessment, Plasma 2010 (
http://sites.nationalacademies.org/bpa/BPA_048210), the Plasma 2020 report
will provide an overview of accomplishments in all fields of plasma science
and technology during the previous decade, and provide guidance on
the most critical science challenges leading to societal benefit to be
addressed in the coming decade.  As with Plasma 2010, we expect the Plasma
2020 report to be highly influential in establishing priorities for plasma
focused agencies, both in the US and internationally.   The Plasma 2020
committee invites the US and international plasma science and technology
communities to submit white papers addressing past accomplishments, future
science challenges, opportunities to provide societal benefit, needed
interdisciplinary collaborations and means to enhance careers in the fields
of plasma science and technology.  The white papers will be a major source
of input to the committee.  Instructions for submitting white papers are at
the bottom of http://nas.edu/plasma. <http://nas.edu/plasma> Please submit
white papers by [now March 8].  Questions can addressed to the study
Director, Christopher Jones (cjjones at nas.edu) or the co-chairs of the study.



Best regards,



Gary Zank, Co-chair Plasma 2020 (garyp.zank at gmail.com)

Mark J. Kushner, Co-chair Plasma 2020 (mjkush at umich.edu)
