"ARCSS Synthesis Workshop: New Perspectives through
Data Discovery and Modeling"
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, invited members of the
research community 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— focused 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 needed in terms of applying data and modeling for analysis to advance science? 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?
