U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank Scientific Investigators Meeting

The U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank Scientific Investigators' Meeting took
place Monday, July 21, 1997 through Wednesday, July 23, 1997 in
Woods Hole, Massachusetts.  This meeting was an opportunity for the
eighty five [need to get exact count from Chip] researchers and
guests who attended to

       -->share field broad-scale and process, lab, retrospective and 
          modeling results, 

       -->integrate and synthesize findings, 

       -->prepare for national and international meetings, and 

       -->talk with others who might have insights into unexplained results. 

The first morning and early afternoon were dedicated to synthesis
talks in five topic areas:

	1. Interannual variability in physical fields
	2. Interannual variability in biological fields
	3. Stratification
	4. Intrusions
	5. Coupled physical/biological modeling

These summary talks incorporated results from all investigators
whose work related to the topic.  The remaining meeting time was
devoted to 15-minute talks, poster and plenary discussion sessions.
The individual talks (19), posters (27) and discussion sessions (4)
allowed investigators to present results not included in the
synthesis talks and to amplify or provide additional information on
points made in the first day's sessions.
