[Federal Register: June 28, 2007 (Volume 72, Number 124)] AGENCY: U.S. Geological Survey, DOI. SUMMARY: The USGS-CCSP Committee for Synthesis and Assessment Product 1.2: Past Climate Variability and Change in the Arctic and at High Latitudes will meet in the Hampton Inn in Lakewood, Colorado on July 12-13, 2007. Agenda: The goal of the meeting is to produce a detailed outline of
the structure of the Synthesis and Assessment Product and to identify
key areas of input and to create a list of potential contributing
authors for these areas. Records under consideration will include, but
not necessarily be limited to, paleo-records from tree rings, ice
cores, lake sediments, pollen records, distributions of marine and
terrestrial organisms as well as isotopic indicators measured on them,
and the temporal evolution of terrestrial depositional and erosional
environments. The agenda will focus on the key topics of the past
record of change in Arctic sea ice extent, in the status of the
Greenland ice sheet, paleo-temperature and paleo-precipitation records,
and past intervals of rapid climate change. The meeting is open to the
public at the times listed below. Pre-registration is required to
attend. Contact the Designated Federal Officer (DFO) at the address
given below by July 9, 2007 to pre-register and receive a copy of the
meeting agenda. Public involvement in the meeting is encouraged.
Prepared statements may be presented orally to the Committee on
Thursday, July 12, 2007 between 11 a.m. and noon. Public statements
will be limited to 3 minutes per person. For scheduling reasons, intent
to make a public statement must be established at the time of pre-
registration. A written copy of the oral statement must be left with
the Committee's DFO at the
workshop as a matter of public record. Open discussions will accompany
each formal session of the workshop. Short public comments/questions
will be allowed if time permits. Seating will be available on a first
come, first served basis. Please check the Synthesis and Assessment
