Astro2020 Decadal Review Activities
This page summarizes activities to promote long-baseline optical/infrared ground-based astronomy in the Astro2020 decadal survey. This includes 17 Science White Papers and 6 White Papers on Activity, Project, and State of Profession Considerations (APC).
Several members of MUSIC participated in the NOAO Decadal Planning Workshop held in Tucson, AZ on Feb 20-21, 2018. Links to presentations are available through the meeting website. Two white papers on optical/infrared interferometry were submitted in response to the NOAO planning call.
