You are invited to attend a special meeting, "A Discussion of Community
Needs for Cryospheric Climate Data Records," to be held Tuesday, 16
December 2008, at 3:30pm. The meeting will take place in the
ARCUS-sponsored community meeting room at the San Francisco Marriott,
Pacific Room A, in San Francisco, California. The meeting coincides with
the annual fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union.

The generation of cryospheric climate data records (CDRs) is a critical
step in providing the necessary information for scientists,
decision-makers, and stakeholders to make adaptive choices that could
improve the nation's resiliency to environmental change and variability,
maintain our economic vitality, and improve the safety and comfort of
U.S. citizens. Discussion at this meeting will focus on community needs
for CDRs, including what types of CDRs are needed, what data formats are
useful, and how to better ensure that the community is informed of
existing and planned CDR efforts. Anyone interested is encouraged to
attend.
