Workshop on Sustained Indian Ocean Biogeochemical and Ecological Research (SIBER)

On October 3-6, the Workshop on Sustained Indian Ocean Biogeochemical and Ecological Research (SIBER) assembled over 175 scientists at the National Institute of Oceanography in Goa, India to formulate a plan for the implementation of a biogeochemical and ecological observational and modeling research program in the Indian Ocean. Raleigh Hood from the Horn Point Laboratory was the workshop Chair, and Wajih Naqvi of the National Institute of Oceanography, the co-Chair. Jane Hawkey of the Integration & Application Network (IAN) was responsible for the overall organization of the workshop, including travel arrangements, keynote speaker and poster presentations. The IAN designed and hosted SIBER website handled online registrations and abstract submissions, and will soon be used to post the SIBER keynote talks and workshop proceedings.
