Schedule of Outreach Sessions Held to Gather Community Input for This Study
Some of the Committee’s outreach sessions were stand-alone events and others were held as part of existing conferences and meetings. For each of these sessions, the NSF grantee databases and subsequent personal recommendations were used in efforts to identify and invite all Antarctic and Southern Ocean researchers based within a roughly 2-hour driving radius of the event (i.e., people located close enough that it would be feasible to travel to/from the event within that day). The exact format varied from one event to the next, depending on the time available and number of participants, but the same basic questions were discussed with each group (also the same as the questions posed on our virtual townhall website). All events were held in 2014.
