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?
