03:15pm | Current ARCSS Research: Key Uncertainties and Next Steps | |
Moderator: Craig Nicolson, University of Massachusetts | ||
Each panelist will make a five-minute presentation focused on one ARCSS question, addressing the key uncertainties and priorities for research from their disciplinary or programmatic perspective. Each pair of five-minute presentations will be followed by approximately ten minutes of comments, questions, and discussion from workshop participants and panelists on that question, allowing a few minutes for the moderator to summarize before moving on to the next question and pair of panelists. Thus each of the four questions will have approximately 20 minutes for presentation, discussion, and summarization. | ||
