The OCB Project Office and OCB ocean acidification subcommittee are planning an invited workshop for lead investigators of funded ocean acidification- related research projects to promote dialogue and build relationships among scientists from all disciplines, agency affiliations, and regions. To aid the development of the national ocean acidification research program, we seek to bring the community together while many ocean acidification research projects in the U.S. are still in their early phases to foster collaborations that will maximize all outcomes of the research: the scientific findings themselves, the associated education and outreach activities, data management efforts, and future research planning. Events will include overview talks, poster sessions, breakout sessions, plenary discussions, and flash introductions. Representatives from international programs will also provide information on collaborative opportunities between U.S. and international researchers. This meeting will be held March 22-24, 2011 at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, MA.
