TL;DR: Significant cultural changes are urgently needed if the burgeoning scientific opportunities in biology are to be tackled by a well-prepared cadre of young scientists from all disciplines Interdisciplinary cooperation must encompass the individual investigator, academic department, research institution, and federal funding agencies This [Policy Forum] describes principles and recommendations that have emerged from an ongoing experiment in interdisciplinary training that since 1996 has included three cycles of grant awards to ten institutions, involving several hundred trainees and their mentors as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission produced the most complete, highest-resolution digital elevation model of the Earth, using dual radar antennas to acquire interferometric radar data, processed to digital topographic data at 1 arc sec resolution.
Measuring surface water from space
TL;DR: The Water and Terrestrial Elevation Recovery mission (WER) as discussed by the authors is a satellite-based approach to estimate the elevation of the water surface (h), its slope (∂h/∂x), and its temporal change.

M. Jordan Raddick,Georgia Bracey,Chris Lintott,Phil Murray,Kevin Schawinski,Alexander S. Szalay,Jan Vandenberg +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results of a pilot study into the motivations and demographics of Galaxy Zoo volunteers, and define a technique to determine motivations from free responses that can be used in larger multiple-choice surveys with similar populations.
The SWOT Mission and Its Capabilities for Land Hydrology
TL;DR: The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission is a collaboration between the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (the French Spatial Agency), the Canadian Space Agency and the United Kingdom Space Agency, with launch planned in late 2020 as mentioned in this paper.
