US JGOFS, a component of the National Science Foundation's U.S. Global Change Research Program, grew out of the recommendations of a 1984 National Academy of Sciences workshop held in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The strategy developed to reach the program goals combines the elements noted on the program Home Page into a cohesive, large-scale project whose synthesis will extend into the next century.
The U.S. JGOFS Planning and Implementation Office, located at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution makes available many hardcopy US JGOFS Reports and, also handles requests for information as promptly as staff schedules permit.
