Dear Colleagues, 

Welcome to the new U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) website. GEO's new pages are part of an agency-wide effort to help our research community easily find relevant information. The updated content conveys how the work we support advances scientific knowledge, benefits society and supports our economy and national security.

Among many improvements, we now have comprehensive guidance on how to prepare and submit research proposals and an updated funding search page that reflects community input, like improved keyword search results.

We invite you to explore the overview pages below, which provide a top-level view of GEO's programs and resources:

Thank you for supporting the NSF mission to promote the progress of science and engineering, and to advance the national health, prosperity and welfare.
