CALL FOR PARTICIPATION AT THE PARCS ALL-HANDS MEETING
On 21 March 2001, the day before the official start of the 31st Annual
Arctic Workshop to be held at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst,
there will be an open meeting for scientists in the PARCS community,
which is broadly defined as U.S.-based scientists working on paleo
issues in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions.
This is an important opportunity to provide community-wide input to the
new PARCS science plan, which provides broad research goals and
guidelines, and upon which depends, to some extent, the levels of
available funding at NSF for Arctic and sub-Arctic paleoscience.
There is not a perfect venue for such a meeting. Our rationale for the
Arctic workshop is i) for some folks this is a meeting they are already
planning to attend, ii) the timing is best with regards to the due date
for the PARCS Science Plan, and iii) the Arctic Workshop has a tradition
of supporting graduate student travel -- and we encourage students to
attend the PARCS meeting and to give a presentation at the Arctic
Workshop.
Please consider coming to the PARCS meeting and encourage your students
to attend also.

PARCS science plan there. The web site address is:
