     Hello everyone,<br>
    <div class="moz-forward-container">
      <div class="moz-forward-container"> <br>
        I invite you to join us on <b>11-noon </b>Friday <b>Mar 10 </b>in
        the <b>MSRB auditorium</b> for the fifth 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 Bob Miller will focus onthe
        movement and processing of organic matter in the coastal zone 
        (the schedule for all the presentations is shown below).  I hope
        you can join us. <br>
