    overview GB program, 
    formidable task
    probably 1000 papers
    so, back to basics
    get everybody on same page

Introduction

discuss history leading up to the program
rationale behind the program
why GB was chosen
main program goal - b/p mechs controlling recruit cod/hadd and prey
lough cod/haddock slide
copepod life cycles

dominant physical forcing
   vernal strat
   source retention loss
   xfrontal exchange

methodology
   broadscale cruises: jan-june every year 1995-1999
     quantify population structure
   process cruises: monthly jan-june 1995,1997,1999
     quantify life-history parameters: 
         vital rates birth, development, growth, death
   moorings:  long-term and process
   drifters:
   satellite imagery:
   modeling:  
        biological: 
              food-web (NPZD), 
              copepod population dynamics (concentration-based and IBM),
              larval fish (bioenergetic, IBM)
        physical: 1-, 2-, 3D flow fields, SPEM, Quoddy, Ecom-si, FVCOM
   historical data analysis:

results - will summarize plus examples - 
   full data inventory is on line at:  www....
   lists of cruises and cruise reports on line
   publication lists on line including access to DSR ahd JGR volumes
     broadscale
     stratification
     source, retention, loss
     xfrontal exchange
     large scale forcing -  SSW, LSW, NAO
