2020 NACP Open Science Meeting POSTPONED!
2020-03-23 - 2020-03-26 | Hilton McLean Tysons Corner, 7920 Jones Branch Dr, McLean, VA, 22102, United States
This meeting has been postponed! TBD
NACP have been monitoring the COVID-19 situation very closely, and things continue to change rapidly. We have also been considering your concerns seriously. As you may know, several cases of COVID-19 infection have been identified in the Washington, D.C. metro area over the weekend, and many more organizations are implementing travel restrictions. We want all of our community members to be safe and to get the fullest benefit from the meeting so we are postponing to a later date sometime within 2020, as yet to be determined, but for planning purposes we feel this will most likely be Fall 2020(October or November).
We had considered doing a virtual-only meeting at the originally scheduled time, but organizing something like that on such short notice would be a significant task. We also feel that because this community and stakeholders meet so infrequently, allowing for in-person interactions is an important aspect. Many people have also suggested offering virtual options in the future for reduction of carbon footprints and to accommodate those who cannot travel, so for the later date the Meeting Planning Committee will investigate these options.

Things to do now:
• UCAR will be reimbursing all paid registration fees automatically in the next week. There is no need to take further action.
• Please cancel your other travel arrangements if you made them individually. • The easiest way to cancel the hotel is to call:
• Hilton 1-800-774-1500
• Hilton McLean direct 703 847-5000
• Hilton Honors (if you used your HH number)
• If you are an invited speaker and you made your travel arrangements through ICF – they will take care of canceling flights and train tickets that were booked through their travel agency.
• Keep an eye out for our future notices and updates regarding this meeting on the rescheduled date!

AmeriFlux Town Hall at 2020 AGU Fall Meeting
2020-12-08 07:00 - 08:00 | virtual
As of this writing in April 2020, scientists in many countries are working under stay-at-home orders. Although the AmeriFlux network has strong virtual connectivity and ecosystem flux research continues apace, 2020 brings a field (and education) season like no other. Therefore, in addition to popular AmeriFlux town hall activities, this year we are adding new activities. For the former, come learn about opportunities for 2021 and news of the network. We will wrap up the first theme year, on Methane, and launch the next. Celebrate successes, like honors to colleagues, funding opportunities, and new data products. Join a conversation with other flux scientists and chart priorities for the AmeriFlux Management Project (AMP). New for this year, we’ll launch activities for mentoring, connecting, and collaborating—which can take place locally or virtually, designed for people at different career levels, experience with fluxes, and locations across the Americas and world. These will include regional mini-workshops and facilitating peer-to-peer mentoring. The town hall will feature short, structured interactions to strengthen and celebrate our connections. This town hall is hosted by AMP and attracts a broad audience of ecologists and Earth scientists, early career and senior, from around the world. See you there!

Please mark your calendars for the 7th ABoVE Science Team Meeting (ASTM7), to be held virtually May 11th & 13th, 2021. Our notion is for the sessions on Tuesday and Thursday to focus on plans for the field season and airborne remote sensing, presentations from partner organizations, updates from the Working Group leads, and reports from the ongoing Synthesis Activities. There will be parallel sessions on each day to feature research highlights from individual projects. Each day will end with social hours for casual conversations.
Registration and abstract submission will open on 5 April. We especially encourage abstracts from early career researchers. Abstracts should be submitted no later than 19 April, so that we have time to scope and organize the parallel sessions.
