We have taken the input from Early Career Investigators (ECIs) who
participated in the “Early Career Investigator Virtual Workshop on a
Community Vision for the Future Geophysical Facility” held April 23-24,
2020 and respondents to a follow-up survey for ECIs and prepared three
white papers that focus on instrumentation
