To help characterize and understand the dramatic changes occurring
throughout the arctic region, the U.S. GEOTRACES Science Steering
Committee has launched a planning effort for a U.S. Arctic GEOTRACES
initiative, with a cruise tentatively planned for 2015. In preparation
for this initiative, several information and planning meetings are
scheduled. The three initial events scheduled to update the community as
to the status of the planning process and to solicit input from
attendees are as follows:
- An open, informal meeting at the American Geophysical Union (AGU)
Fall Meeting in San Francisco, on Tuesday, 6 December 2011 from
7:15-8:15 p.m. PST in the San Francisco Marriott Marquis, 4th Floor,
Pacific Room J.
- A town hall meeting at the Ocean Sciences meeting in Salt Lake
City (date and time to be announced).
- A community implementation workshop scheduled for the late
spring-early summer time frame. When a venue has been secured,
further information will be distributed via email, and posted on the
U.S. GEOTRACES web site, at: http://www.usgeotraces.org/.
