NSF Program: Paleo Perspectives on Climate Change (P2C2)
The Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) program is soliciting your input toward a workshop to promote Integrated Study of Terrestrial and Coastal Carbon Fluxes and Exchanges in the Gulf of Mexico. The OCB has identified Coastal Carbon Fluxes as one of its research priorities for 2008, and will sponsor a science scoping workshop to be held May 6-8, 2008 in St. Petersburg, FL. The meeting will be co-hosted by the USGS Florida Integrated Science Center St Petersburg and the College of Marine Science of the University of South Florida.
