research, develop, and design solutions to sustainability challenges.
P3 highlights
people, prosperity, and the planet - the three pillars of sustainability
- as the next step beyond P2 or pollution prevention. The P3 Award program=
is a
partnership between the public and private sectors to progress toward
sustainability
by achieving the mutual goals of economic prosperity, protection of the natu=
ral
systems of the planet, and providing a higher quality of life for its people=
=2E
EPA and its affiliates offer the P3 Award competition to respond to
the technical
needs of the developed and developing world in moving towards the
goal of sustainability.

ALASKA THAWS, COMPLICATING THE HUNT FOR OIL
from The New York Times (Registration Required)
DEADHORSE, Alaska =97 Harry Bader slogged across a patch of America's only
Arctic shore, leaning into a late December gale that filled the midday
twilight with blowing snow and sent the wind chill to 40 below.
Despite the weather, Mr. Bader, the state's land manager for the oil-r=

North Slope, was consumed with one thing =97 the warming climate. Oil-
prospecting convoys in search of new deposits are allowed to crisscross the
fragile tundra only when it is snowy and solid. But over three decades,
rising temperatures have cut this frozen season in half, to 100 days from
200.
Environmentalists have begun to point out the contradictions in
a situation
where Arctic-wide warming, which many scientists say is at least partly
driven by smokestack and tailpipe emissions, is curtailing the quest for a
fossil fuel that is a prime source of such pollution. Nowhere is the
warming trend more acute than here on this Minnesota-size stretch of pond-
pocked plains and shrubby foothills.

=46irst Announcement: International Summer School of Oceanography
A GODAE Summer School
AN INTEGRATED VIEW OF OCEANOGRAPHY:
Ocean Weather Forecasting in the 21st Century
Progress in a wide range of ocean research and applications depends upon
the prompt and dependable availability of ocean information products.
The field of physical oceanography has matured to a point where it is
now conceivable to combine numerical models and observations via data
assimilation in order to provide ocean prediction products on various
spatial and time scales. As a result, many nations have begun
large-scale efforts to provide routine products to the oceanographic
community. The Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE)
provides a framework for these efforts, i.e., a global system of
observations, communications, modeling, and assimilation that will
deliver regular, comprehensive information on the state of the oceans,
in a way that will promote and engender wide utility and availability
of this resource for maximum benefit to the community. The societal
benefit will be an increased knowledge of the marine environment and
ocean climate, predictive skills for societal, industrial, and
commercial benefit and tactical and strategic advantage, as well as
the provision of a comprehensive and integrated approach to the
oceans.
One objective of the school is to form/motivate the young scientists and
professionals that will be the principal movers and users of operational
oceanographic outputs in the next 10 years. We consider it timely, given
the international context, to bring together leading scientists to
summarize our present knowledge in ocean modeling, ocean observing
systems, and data assimilation to present an integrated view of
oceanography. In addition to formal lectures, shorter talks by
experts in the field will expose the participants to a wide range of
applications.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to present their work via
poster sessions. The lecture notes will be reviewed by the attendees
and will be published as a proceedings volume.
Venue: The School will be hosted by Agelonde in Lalonde-Les Maures near
the French Riviera, from September 20 to October 1, 2004.
A list of the principal topics includes: Ocean modeling, ocean satellite
and in-situ data, data assimilation, validation, integration,
systems, and products. A number of presentations will be made
concerning uses of
operational oceanography. Approximately 6 hours of lectures and seminars
are planned every day. Two student poster sessions and two debate
sessions are also planned.
Attendance: The school is directed to graduate students, post-docs, and
young scientists and to professionals that are or will be involved in
the development of integrated oceanography. It is open to all
countries. There will be a special effort made to include
participants from developing countries for knowledge dissemination.
Support for the school will be provided by CNES, GODAE, and the
MERSEA EU Integrated Project, among others.
Organizing committee:
Yves Mnard (CNES, Toulouse)
Joelle Guinle (CNES, Toulouse)
Scientific committee chairs:
Prof. Eric Chassignet (University of Miami)
Dr. Jacques Verron (LEGI, Grenoble)
