U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank
Phase II Principal
Investigators' Meeting
July 2, 1996
NMFS Aquarium
Conference Room
Woods Hole, MA
Summary
A one-day workshop of Phase II U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank Principal Investigators (PI's) was held on
2 July 1996 in Woods Hole, MA. The purpose of the meeting was
- to
discuss the scientific initiatives for Phase II,
- to review the
funding recommendations proposed by the program's NSF and NOAA
managers, and
- to modify the shiptime request in light of the
structure of the scientific program.
The principal investigators described their research objectives and logistical
requirements. In the process of this program review, twelve items which were thought to be
important to the success of the program were identified as missing
and prioritized. Remedies and funding requirements to fix the
problems were developed. A modified shiptime request was also
developed based on the needs of the funded Phase II PI's.
This document summarizes the meeting deliberations and recommendations, provides
the work statements for the work that will be
ongoing during Phase II of this project, and shows a summary of the
current plan of research cruises for 1997.
