About Heros
The Scientific Investigators' Meeting will take place Monday, July
21, 1997 through Wednesday, July 23, 1997 in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
This meeting is an opportunity 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.
For this meeting, the first morning and early
afternoon will be dedicated to synthesis talks in five topic areas.
A "hero" identified for each topic area, will summarize and
synthesize results from all who have some results in that area. The
remaining time will be devoted to 15 minute talks, poster session and
plenary discussion sessions.
The list of synthesis topics and the heros are:
- Interannual variability in physical fields: Primary intent is
to focus on year-to-year variability during our 3 years of sampling, but it also relates to
decadal or longer term variability. The presentation should make some
reference to source-retention-loss, if possible. Heros:
P. Smith, D. Mountain,
R. Limeburner.
- Interannual variability in biological fields: This
primarily deals with distribution and abundance of target species,
predators, and prey.
Heros: T. Durbin, L.
Madin, S. Gallager.
- Stratification - PO/Biology: Heros:
R. Beardsley,
G. Lough, C. Davis, D. Gifford.
- Intrusions: This refers to both Scotian Shelf cross over
events and to the intrusions of Slope Water along the southern flank
of the Bank. Heros:
J. Manning, J. Irish, K.
Ashjian, J. Sibunka.
- Coupled physical/biological modeling: Heros:
D. Lynch,
C. Miller, D. McGillicuddy, C. Werner.
The intent will be for the "heros" to put together a summary talk on
the topic, incorporating results from all investigators whose work
related to the topic. For this to succeed, there needs to be a dual
responsibility for both the heros to contact the various
investigators who might have something to contribute and for
investigators who have something to contact the hero. The lead hero
to contact for each area is identified by italics and underlined.
