A report on the 2017 Joint NACP and AmeriFlux Principal Investigators Meeting convened in Bethesda, Maryland from 27–30 March 2017 has been published. A PDF of the report is available here. An excerpt of the report is pasted below.

'...Integrative discussions on multisystem carbon cycle studies and assessments included the upcoming special report of the Sustained National Climate Assessment, the Second State of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR-2), and global methane budget and measurements. Meeting participants called for more synthesis studies and collaborative activities among the NACP and AmeriFlux communities. The meeting underscored the need for sustained interagency coordination and new collaborations among researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers, as well as stronger connections between research and application, the natural and social sciences, and science and policy.

Further information about the meeting, a list of participants, and presentation abstracts can be found on the meeting’s website.'
