1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: "Abendroth, Lisha (lishaa@xxxxxxxxxx)" <lishaa@xxxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, We invite you to join us at the first community meeting of the Island Systems Integration Consortium (ISIC)! We are a new NSF-sponsored Research Coordination Network (RCN) focusing on interdisciplinary science in the Galapagos. With this meeting, we will bring together geologists, biologists, and climate scientists to identify and pursue innovative, interdisciplinary questions for the next chapter of Galapagos research. We have planned our first â??All-Handsâ?? meeting to take place October 24-28 in Cincinatti, Ohio. ISIC aims to bring together a community of scientists working in the Galápagos from across the natural sciences to imagine and investigate research questions at the intersection of geology, biology, and climate science that transcend single disciplines. We seek to create a network that is self-sustaining and constantly improving our ability to answer these questions into the future.
