Session Proposal: The Nexus for Exoplanet System Science (NExSS) – Building a Community for Interdisciplinary Research Across NASA Science Divisions (AGU25)

P042
The Nexus for Exoplanet System Science (NExSS) – Building a Community for Interdisciplinary Research Across NASA Science Divisions

Session ID#: 250198

Session Description:
Exoplanet research has provided unique opportunities to promote multidisciplinary work, as it requires expertise from the fields of Earth Science, Planetary Science, Heliophysics, and Astrophysics. NExSS was created to bring together teams that are associated with these corresponding divisions of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. NExSS’s goal is to make interdisciplinary connections possible, promoting activities that increase communication and collaboration between research teams and individuals, and streamline research objectives across its science community. The session will cover both NExSS activities as well as general topics on interdisciplinary research. In the spirit of broadening connections, we encourage submissions not only about unique NExSS activities or NExSS-related projects, but also non-NExSS projects that demonstrate the unique value of highly interdisciplinary research; effective means to create and encourage interdisciplinary research within the AGU community; the value of interdisciplinary research in public outreach; or the benefits of interdisciplinary research for science education.
