The research community behind the science in SP3

SP3 is built on the best available science — much of it contributed by the academic research community as published results, models, and source data.

This list acknowledges the major academic contributors to the science utilized in SP3 — both published research results, and the models and source data researchers provided with approval for use in SP3's development. If we are missing your contribution, let us know.
