Description:
Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the Scientific Steering Committee for the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), the Scientific Committee for Oceanic Research and the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme, I cordially invite you to participate in the 3rd and final JGOFS Open Science Conference (OSC). The OSC will be held at the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in Washington, D.C., 5-8 May 2003. The venue recognizes the birth of JGOFS in 1984 at an NAS-sponsored workshop held in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. It also reminds us that the first international JGOFS science meeting, the North Atlantic Bloom Experiment Symposium, was held at the NAS in 1990. Now we come together to celebrate the successful completion of JGOFS. The program is wider, deeper and richer than most of us ever imagined it would be. The global ocean carbon dioxide system has been mapped with unprecedented coverage and precision. Several oceanic time-series studies have amassed more than a decade’s worth of high-quality observations of ecological and biogeochemical indicators of climate change and ecosystem transformation. A wealth of insights and data from process studies is being enshrined in new models of ocean dynamics. Two generations of graduate students have learned from JGOFS fieldwork and publications. All this and more will be on display in Washington. We hope you will come and join us for an in-depth look at 15 years of JGOFS ocean carbon cycle research with a preview of the future of ocean ecology and biogeochemistry.
See you in D.C.!
Hugh W. Ducklow, Chair, International JGOFS Scientific Steering Committee
