PRESIDENT: Professor Peter Burkill SECRETARY: Dr. Corina Brussaard EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Dr. Edward R. Urban Jr. Secretariat: College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment Robinson Hall University of Delaware Newark, DE 19716 USA MEMORANDUM TO: Attendees, 2015 SCOR Executive Committee Meeting FROM: Ed Urban, SCOR Executive Director RE: Background Book for Meeting DATE: 7 November 2015 I am pleased to enclose the background book for the upcoming SCOR General Meeting in Goa, India. I hope that you have a chance to read it before the meeting, although I know that the time is limited and the background materials are extensive. Please be sure to review the annotated agenda following. I have tried to identify the actions that we need to consider at the meeting and have cross-referenced the agenda items to the pages where relevant background information can be found, so we can make the best use of our time together. Please skim the remainder of the book and focus on those sections that are most closely related to your interests and responsibilities. I hope that the book also will be a useful reference to you between SCOR meetings. The background book is also available on the Web, at http://www.scor- int.org/2015/2015EC.htm. We will not be able to bring extra background books to the meeting, so please bring your copy if you requested one. Please let me know if you think other items should be made available to participants at the meeting. I look forward to seeing each of you in Goa next month.
