7. Questions?

8. Workshop Objectives
Promote interest and participation from US and international scientists and science managers, including early career, and to develop synergies between scientists from different countries and disciplines
Move the SAS effort forward to design an implementation plan that expands upon the existing science plan (working groups)
(US Only) Bring together the newly formed US SSC to nurture a US SAS effort (Friday)

9. Outcomes and Products
Workshop Report – Include discussions and plans for moving forward on the workshop goals
Draft a vision for a Data Management Policy and Plan
Identify a plan to engage the next generation of scientists through the SAS
(US Only) Produce a draft US Implementation Plan to move forward with a US SAS effort (Friday)

10. Goals 1 and 8: Discipline (carbon, ecosystem, PO) specific methods and measurements including spatial and temporal scales
For the SAS to be successful, measurements must be conducted using equivalent methodologies on the different ships and by the different nations
Identify cross-calibration that would be required
Each discipline will review the key question and review the measurements identified in the SAS Science Plan that are needed to address those questions
Consider questions of spatial and temporal scale
Also: Identify additional measurements that would help address the questions, think about the sampling locations/transects in the context of the questions, and think about non-ship assets that could collect additional data

11. Goal 2: Data Management
Identify a vision for data management including a policy and how data sharing can easily be implemented
Discuss how this can be accomplished (e.g., will it require dedicated data archive or can it be a network of international data archives)
Consider “lessons learned” from past and ongoing large programs

12. Goals 3 and 11: Blueprint for nurturing next generation of Arctic Scientists
Identify opportunities for international collaboration and student/post-doc exchanges between nations and between ships.
Brainstorm on how to engage early career scientists in the program

13. Goals 4 and 10. Pre- and Post-Fieldwork Synthesis and Synergies
Identify elements missing from existing SAS Plan
Identify overlap and synergies with other international efforts (e.g., MOSAiC, Nansen Legacy, YOPP, Decade of the Ocean)
Formulate plans for pre-fieldwork synthesis efforts or compilations of existing data
Identify a strategy for post-fieldwork synthesis of results (e.g., workshops, dedicated research efforts)

14. Goal 5: Additional measurements outside the core program
What measurements aside from ecosystem, carbon, and PO are not included in the present plan but could easily be accommodated?
What approaches are not included in the present plan? (e.g., modeling, molecular, satellite)
Goal 7: What non-ship assets be used to address the science questions?

15. Goal 6: Review of planned transects and scientific justification for each

16. Goal 9: How can we engage the indigenous communities?
Are there opportunities for collaboration?
What are the best strategies for communicating our science to local communities?
What are the best strategies to interest the local communities in our science?

17. Goal 4: A vision for modeling
What can modeling do for the SAS and vice-versa?
Goal 13: What private or public funding opportunities exist?
