Island Systems Integration Consortium (ISIC):
All Hands Meeting 1 (AH1)

This first All Hands Meeting of the Island Systems Integration Consortium (ISIC) will focus on identifying current and new cross-disciplinary approaches to answering critical and unresolved research questions in Galápagos biology, geology, and climatology. The meeting will consist of plenary presentations, breakout sessions, traditional and in situ-created poster sessions, as well as a half-day workshop on effective science communication and outreach. Outcomes from this meeting will include creation of new collaborative partnerships, early career development opportunities, a white paper synthesis and special journal issue on the state of the fields for the Galápagos Islands system.
