GROUP DISCUSSION ON PROJECT INTEGRATION

TIMELINE

Major milestones for entire 5-year project duration (see hand-out of project milestones)

Specific milestones for first year: need to determine

Design milestones to match specific objectives

1-way land/atmosphere impacts

2-way land/atmosphere impacts/feedback

Feedbacks with human decision making (economics)

Communications and outreach

WORKING GROUPS

Need to discuss what working groups will look like

Working groups will change throughout project duration

Initial working groups will be formed to accomplish first year milestones

MEETING FREQUENCY

Steering committee meetings

Bi-monthly in early stages, eventually monthly?

All faculty participants invited

Working group meetings: weekly to bi-monthly

All-faculty meetings: quarterly?

All-participant meetings (faculty&students): bi-annually?

E.g., Kick-off meeting, poster presentations, etc..

Peer review meetings: annually?

Outreach Meetings: bi-annually to annually?
