Meeting Focus:

The 3rd NASA Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems Joint Science Workshop will be held Oct 3-7 at the Hilton, Alexandria, Virginia. All scientists involved in the corresponding NASA programs are welcome to attend. The NASA LCLUC program falls within the Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems Focus Area. On October 6, individual discipline NASA programs within this Focus Area will be holding their own Science Team Meetings. The focus for this one-day LCLUC ST Meeting will be on Land-Use Observations with an emphasis on agriculture.
