Abstract

A meeting of the geospatial analysis task of the GSB project is proposed during the week of June 10, 2013 with the following objectives:1) Familiarize Brazilian researchers with activities, capabilities, and personnel at ORNL, and consider possible future or expanded GSB/ORNL activities. 2) Input and discussion on the relationship between geospatial analysis and other parts of the GSB and LACAf projects, and in particular the newly-initiated FAPESP/NEPAD collaboration. 3) Final polishing of a proposal to FAPESP to support the geospacial analysis and modeling task of the GSB project. Day 1 is to be a face-to-face meeting at Oak Ridge National Lab of persons involved in activities related to geospatial analysis. Day 2 is to be a virtual meeting with broader participation. (AU)
