    Hello everyone,<br>
    <br>
    I invite you to join us on <b>11-noon </b>Friday <b>Feb 3 </b>in
    the <b>MSRB auditorium</b> for the first in a series of research
    presentations aimed at assisting in planning for SBC LTER's renewal
    proposal.  We have organized working groups around particular
    research themes relevant to our project.  Each working group will
    present a synthesis of SBC activities pertaining to their theme and
    lead a discussion on promising areas for future research. <br>
    <br>
    Tomorrow's presentation led by Craig Carlson will be on the coastal
    carbonate system (the schedule for all the presentations is shown
    below).  I hope you can join us. <br>
    <br>
