The NEP Program SSC

Minutes of NEPEXCO Meetings

The NEPEXCO meets rarely face-to-face. The committee meets one evening during the annual NEP Scientific Investigator meetings, but otherwise conducts the bulk of its business and discussions via email correspondence.

January 2006

The terms of all NEPEXCO members expired in December 2005. An election was held to select 8 new NEPEXCO members--four from each of the CGOA and CCS synthesis scientific investigators. The following scientists were elected to the NEPEXCO with terms ending in December 2009 (basically the end of the US GLOBEC program):

Nick Bond (University of Washington, Seattle, WA; Chair of NEPEXCO)
Loo Botsford (University of California, Davis, CA)
Ric Brodeur (NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center, Newport, OR)
Al Hermann (NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Lab, Seattle, WA)
Bill Peterson (NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center, Newport, OR)
Frank Schwing (NOAA Pacific Fisheries Environmental Lab, Pacific Grove, CA)
Phyllis Stabeno (NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Lab, Seattle, WA)
Ted Strub (Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR)

In addition, Hal Batchelder (Oregon State Univ.) and Ed Casillas (NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center, Seattle, WA), the Principal Investigators on the GLOBEC NEP Coordinating and Synthesis Office project, were added to the NEPEXCO as ex-officio members.

January 2003

The Terms of all NEPEXCO members expired in December 2002. An election was held to select a new 10 member NEPEXCO. The following scientists were elected to the NEPEXCO with terms ending in December 2005:

January 2000

The INEC (see below "October 1997") has been dissolved and replaced by a Northeast Pacific Executive Committee (NEPEXCO), comprised of funded Principal Investigators in the program. A selection process resulted in the election of the following eight PIs to the NEPEXCO, each with a term of two years:

Ted Strub (Oregon State University, chair; January 2002)
Jack Barth (Oregon State University; January 2002)
Loo Botsford (University of California, Davis; January 2002)
Ric Brodeur (Northwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA; January 2002)
Bill Peterson (Northwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA; January 2002)
Thomas (Zack) Powell (University of California, Berkeley; January 2002)
Frank Schwing (Pacific Fisheries Environmental Laboratory, NOAA; January 2002)
Cynthia Tynan (Northwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA; January 2002)

October 1997

At the October 1997 meeting of the U.S. GLOBEC National Scientific Steering Committee, an Interim NEP Scientific Steering Committee (INEC) was established. The members of the the INEC are listed below. The charge to the INEC is to 1) integrate the recommendations from the retrospective, modeling and monitoring working groups, 2) identify critical complementary interdependent aspects of the funded NEP projects, 3) identify gaps in the funded program with respect to the implementation plan, and organize to meet those gaps as feasible, 4) investigate prospects for meeting needs for long-term observation programs (LTOPs) in Northern California, 5) define the process studies, and produce for release an Announcement of Opportunity (AO) requesting proposals for process-oriented work to start in FY2000, and 6) outreach, at both the PI, allied complimentary program and political constituency levels.
