Data from the Venera, Pioneer Venus, Magellan and Venus Express missions have provided ample evidence that Venus is a complex terrestrial planet, providing a unique opportunity to study the coupling between interior, surface and atmospheric processes. Our knowledge of venusian atmospheric processes will be further enhanced by data from the upcoming Venus Climate Orbiter mission. However, critical questions on the evolution of the atmosphere, surface and interior of Venus will persist, questions that would allow us to better constrain the evolution of habitable environments in our solar system and beyond. In particular, the history of water on Venus is poorly understood, with the duration of the existence of a venusian ocean a fundamental unknown. The Venus Exploration Analysis Group (VEXAG) has produced a community white paper that describes and prioritizes scientific goals, objectives, and investigations. Many of the scientific goals are addressable in the near-term, with a combination of research and analysis of existing datasets, experimentation, and new missions to Venus.
