The paper summarizes the Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) as a Designated Targeted Observable (DO) recommended in the 2017-2027 National Academies' Decadal Survey, focusing on agriculture, natural habitats, water use/quality, and urban development. It reviews existing algorithms in each category and synthesizes the findings of over 130 scientists.
The 2017-2027 National Academies' Decadal Survey, Thriving on Our Changing Planet, recommended Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) as a Designated Targeted Observable (DO). The SBG DO is based on the need for agriculture, natural habitats, water use/quality, and urban development. We review existing algorithms in the community-state-of-practice in each category. This effort synthesizes the findings of more than 130 scientists.
