2. A few naïve reactions to yesterday

3. A simple point Important effort to simplify the message
Oscillation: Fundamental Science, Applications, Methods/Instrumentation
Move from competition between points of view
to inclusive synthesis: complementary approaches

Remote Characterization
Perturbation
Mining back
Overlap is testimony of the richness of the field
Opportunity for multiple advocacy
NSF-DOE- Congress - Industry -Public at large
Experts-other scientists-

5. Sedimentary vs hard rock
We need both!
Actually 3-4: ignitious, metamorphic,sedimentary + salt
Build up case: Understand the differences / complementarity
in science: e.g. porosity. Additional complexity vs additional information
in applications: e.g. oil vs mineral deposits
in methods: variants of general approaches or need for one type
Integration of existing facilities
WIPP
Postpone prioritization/tactics: do not clip our wings too early
Prepare the scientific case; main themes
Elaborate roadmaps using complementarity
e.g. from simplest to more complex
comparison low/high porosity

6. How to extract main themes?
Our exercise of yesterday night
If you had $10M what experiment will you perform?
Look at overlap
