Submit AGU abstracts: SOCCR2 and 20 years of coordinated carbon research

We are planning to convene sessions at the December 2018 American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in Washington, D.C. to engage with community members. The focus will be on two major accomplishments. We are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Carbon Cycle Interagency Working Group (CCIWG) and the U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program. We are also in the process of preparing for the final release of the 2^nd State of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR2) in the fall of 2018 (pending final U.S. Government clearance).
