The Goals
The goals of the Cooperative Institute for Dynamic Earth Research (CIDER) are:
- To provide an optimal environment for transformative studies requiring a concerted effort of leading researchers from different areas of Earth Sciences: high pressure material science, geodynamics, seismology, geochemistry and geomagnetism, and
- To educate a new generation of Earth scientists with breadth of competence across the disciplines contributing to understanding of the deep earth.
The ultimate goal of CIDER is to develop an integrative conceptual model drawing upon all contributing disciplines to understand the origin, evolution, and dynamics of the Earth and, by extension, other planets. The practical objectives are to:
- Address the most important and difficult problems that have defied solution thus far by fostering collaborations that can fully utilize existing knowledge and technology.
- Contribute a seed-bed for ideas within an integrative conceptual framework that will identify the next generation of critical experiments and observations, and build support and appreciation for them.
- Provide an effective mechanism for cross-disciplinary education of scientists at all career levels.
