SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT

U.S. North American Carbon Program (NACP) Investigators Meeting and
Joint Canada-Mexico-USA Carbon Program Planning Meeting

January 22-26, 2007

Cheyenne Mountain Conference Center
Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

The website for these meetings is open and may be viewed at:
http://www.nacarbon.org/2007_meetings/index.htm

will be sent as these dates approach. As registration progresses, please
return to the website to review anticipated plenary topics, invited
speakers, breakout discussions, posters and registered participants.

All scientists involved in carbon cycle research relevant to North
America are welcome and encouraged to attend both meetings.

U.S. North American Carbon Program (NACP) Investigators Meeting Monday,
January 22 through Wednesday, January 24

U.S. North American Carbon Program participants will meet to report
research results to date, plan and coordinate work to occur during the
next year, and plan future activities. Early opportunities for synthesis
will also be discussed. Each NACP project and activity is encouraged to
provide a poster and/or a presentation at the meeting. Any principal
investigator who cannot attend should designate a co-investigator to
represent their project.

Joint Canada-Mexico-USA Carbon Program Planning Meeting Thursday,
January 25 and Friday, January 26

The United States is pleased to host a joint meeting of Canadian,
Mexican, and U.S. investigators involved in research on carbon cycling
within North America and adjacent ocean basins and coastal areas. With
the goal of developing a scientific framework for a joint program to
provide better estimates of the North American carbon budget and a
better understanding of the processes and mechanisms involved, meeting
participants will identify activities that are well suited to
collaboration and topics for synthesis of results developed by each
country's program. The meeting agenda will include posters and
presentations on current projects; however, the focus will be on
discussions to shape a Joint Canada-Mexico-USA Carbon Program and
understand its relationship to other regional carbon studies.

We look forward to seeing you in Colorado Springs for these important
meetings!

Regards,
