The panel review proposals within Geology: Exploration of Earth's physical structure, including the study of rocks, minerals, tectonic processes, and the history of Earth's formation. Geophysics: Investigation of Earth's internal processes using physical methods, such as seismic wave analysis, magnetism, and gravitational studies, remote sensing, to understand surface and subsurface structures. Physical Geography: Examination of Earth's surface processes and landforms, focusing on landscapes, hydrology, biogeography, and the interactions between human activity and the natural environment. Atmospheric Science: Analysis of Earth's atmosphere, covering weather patterns, atmospheric dynamics, and the chemical composition that affects climate and weather systems. Climate Science: Study of long-term weather patterns, climate change, paleoclimatology including Earth's frozen regions, glaciers, ice sheets, sea ice, and permafrost, focusing on their dynamics, interactions with the climate system, and their response to and impact on global climate change.
