NSF-MARGINS Decadal Review 2009

MARGINS (and MARGINS-related) nuggets

In preparation for the MARGINS program decadal review, the MARGINS Office asked MARGINS PIs to provide one-page "nuggets" that summarize interesting, high-impact research results. The assembled nuggets provide a strong case for scientific achievement in MARGINS, and are invaluable in documenting the broad scope and interdisciplinary nature of the program. Nuggets are also a convenient way for PIs to showcase their best work. Nuggets that cover work closely-related to MARGINS but that were not funded by the MARGINS program are listed with authors in red.
