Carbon System research theme meeting

Dear all

Please be invited to a Carbon System research theme meeting March 13, from 1300 - 1500, in the Helland Hansen meeting room, GFI.

We will primarily discuss plans for upcoming RCN calls.

It would be great if anybody could volunteer to give a brief scientific presentation. This can be work in progress, or reuse of a presentation delivered elsewhere (for example many are presenting at Ocean Sciences this week, and will have a presentation more or less ready).

It would also be great with brief presentations on any new projects, please let us know if you have something.

A final agenda will be sent around later,

Cheers

Are and Jörg
