PLEASE NOTE:
On 21 March 2001, the day before the official start of the Arctic
Workshop, there will be an open meeting for scientists in the PARCS
community -- 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. Please consider coming one day early to the
workshop, and encourage your students to attend also. More information
can be found on the PARCS web site at:
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/paleo/parcs/parcs.html and questions can be
addressed to PARCS co-chair, Mary Edwards at: mary.edwards [at] svt.ntnu.no.
