As a result of positive community interest, the ARCSS Committee has
decided to reschedule the ARCSS Data/Modeling workshop for 2-4 April
2007 (Monday through Wednesday) at Bell Harbor International Conference
Center in Seattle, Washington, to allow for greater community
participation. The workshop was originally planned for January 2007.
This workshop is planned to identify innovative approaches for uniting
data management and assimilation, recent developments in technology, and
modeling that will advance synthesis studies of the arctic system.
Invited participants will include diverse representation from data
providers and users as well as information technology experts and
knowledge brokers. Other interested participants will be invited to
apply through submission of a letter of interest. The broader community
will be invited to participate in several workshop sessions through
teleconferencing and/or online meeting tools.
Information on this workshop, and how the broader community can
participate, will be discussed at an open Town Hall Meeting on arctic
data coordination needs and priorities, during the AGU Fall Meeting in
San Francisco. The town hall meeting is scheduled from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
on Thursday, 14 December 2006, at the Marriott Hotel, Pacific A Room
(4th floor). Light food and beverages will be available (pizza, salad,
and a cash bar). We welcome your participation.
The April 2007 workshop will consider a set of key discussion questions:
- What are the data and modeling needs to advance synthesis-focused
arctic system science? - What is 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?
Additional information about the workshop and how to submit a letter of
interest will be announced via the ARCSS Listserve in the coming weeks.
