The Organizing Committee of the upcoming "ARCSS Synthesis Workshop: New
Perspectives through Data Discovery and Modeling," to be held 2-4 April
2007 in Seattle, Washington, invites you to participate in an open eTown
Meeting to discuss priorities and strategies for ARCSS data management
for promoting arctic system-level understanding and synthesis.

This eTown Meeting - one of several activities planned to ensure a broad
set of perspectives in workshop discussions and in the subsequent
community-reviewed workshop report - will focus on the central
discussion points to be considered during the April workshop:

  • What are the data and modeling needs to advance synthesis-focused
    arctic system science?
  • What's currently working and what is not in terms of applying data and
    modeling for analysis to advance science? What are the existing
    impediments limiting the assimilation of disparate data sources needed
    to advance arctic synthesis studies, and what are the keys to success?
  • What are the practical steps forward as far as mechanisms, approaches,
    tools and procedures, organization, standards, and related issues?

This eTown Meeting is scheduled for Monday, 26 March 2007 at 10:00 a.m.
Alaska Daylight Time (ADT) (11:00 a.m. PDT; 12:00 p.m. MDT; 1:00 p.m.
CDT; 2:00 p.m. EDT). Advance registration is required.
