2007 NASA Ocean Color Research Team Meeting Update and Draft Agenda

by genecarlfeldman » Fri Mar 02, 2007 2:43 pm America/New_York

Members of the Ocean Color Community:

Greetings. Many of you have asked about the meeting web site and registration, as well as detailed logistics. There have been some unexpected delays in getting the web site up and running. I am told by the meeting contractors the web site should be up shortly, and registration will be open soon. If you have field work coming up, please rest assured that on-site registration will be available. I will send out a note when the web site is available.

Let me provide the relevant details:

The NASA Ocean Color Research Team Meeting will be held from 11-13 April in Seattle, Washington, USA. The draft agenda is appended below, and is designed to provide updates on various aspects of the research program and on-going program planning. There is also a focus in the talks this year on thinking about the future, the gaps in our knowledge base, new frontiers, and how NASA and the community plan for future measurements and research objectives.

On the agenda: there will likely be a few additions and subtractions for oral presentations, as NASA is still waiting for confirmation on attendance and presentations from a few invitees. Speakers: please let me know if you would like any changes to your titles or affiliations, and please note the length of the speaking slot. A final agenda will be posted a week or two prior to the meeting. Posters are welcome, and you will be able to register these on-line shortly.

A block of rooms is being held at the Hotel Monaco Seattle (<[url=(URL).monaco-seattle.com/><a class='url' href='(URL).monaco-seattle.com/](URL).monaco-seattle.com/[/url]'>(URL).monaco-seattle.com/>(URL).monaco-seattle.com/</a>) under "Ocean Color Research Team" or "OCRT" until 20 March 2007. Please make your hotel reservations as soon as possible in order to guarantee the government rate.

The meeting is open to all. I hope to see you all in Seattle next month.

Best wishes,

Paula
