As we progress through the final months of our project, it is important that we keep lines of communication open, stay as integrated as possible, and seek consensus on important scientific issues as they arrive. These are the primary functions of the All Team PINEMAP meetings, and why we are scheduling them monthly.
You will receive details and information for each meeting as the time approaches. We encourage everybody to attend these meetings, and to seek opportunities to more fully integrate your work with other PINEMAP participants, to ensure the best outcomes for our project.
PINEMAP Integration Platforms
An Integration Platform page has been set up on the Intranet site. This page contains PowerPoint files of each of the integration platform timelines updated at our annual meeting.
