Volunteers Draft White Papers for Short-term Research Challenges

by John Wilson

Nineteen short-term research challenges were identified at the Summer Assembly 2002 in Athens, Georgia. These are challenges that may be emphasized in the next five years.

A two-page white paper on each challenge will be presented at the Winter Meeting in February. These glossy format challenge descriptions will be available for the Congressional briefing. Following the meeting, a vote on the challenges will be taken to determine which continue as UCGIS priorities.

Many UCGIS delegates have volunteered to draft the white papers. Contact them if you wish to contribute.
