Advancing Space Science Requires NASA Support for Coordination Between the Science Mission Directorate Communities
There is a growing awareness that cross-disciplinary studies achieve many major science objectives. This requires greater coordination and collaboration between the four communities represented by the NASA SMD Divisions. We outline specific steps that can be taken by NASA and by the space science community to further cross-disciplinary research.
