Travel Home
The second All Hands Meeting of the Island Systems Integration Consortium (ISIC) builds on the success of previous ISIC meetings where the community identified unresolved interdisciplinary research questions in Galápagos biology, geology, and climatology. This meeting aims to solidify a list of interdisciplinary grand challenges for island system research in Galapagos and elsewhere, and a community implementation plan for addressing those challenges. The meeting will consist of plenary presentations, breakout sessions, and community brainstorming, as well as a poster session to communicate recent research. Outcomes from this meeting will include creation of an Implementation Plan and contributions to a special journal issue on the state of research into the grand challenges for the Galápagos and other islands systems.
We expect to cover participants' transportation (flight or current federal mileage rate), double-occupancy lodging costs, breakfasts, two lunches, and a banquet dinner.
