The Organizing Committee of the upcoming "ARCSS Synthesis Workshop: New Perspectives through Data Discovery and Modeling," to be held 2–4 April 2007 in Seattle, Washington, invited members of the research community to participate in an open eTown Meeting to discuss priorities and strategies for ARCSS data management for promoting arctic system-level understanding and synthesis.

This eTown Meeting—one of several activities planned to ensure a broad set of perspectives in workshop discussions and in the subsequent community-reviewed workshop report— focused on the central discussion points to be considered during the April workshop:

  • What are the data and modeling needs to advance synthesis-focused arctic system science?
  • What's currently working and what is needed in terms of applying data and modeling for analysis to advance science? What are the keys to success?
  • What are the practical steps forward as far as mechanisms, approaches, tools and procedures, organization, standards, and related issues?
