Greenland Field Science Workshop 2021

On September 14 and 16, 2021, a virtual meeting was held to discuss future goals for NASA and NSF-funded field projects working on the Greenland Ice Sheet. The meeting was designed to be a combination of what in the past has been the GEOSummit workshop discussing future science goals at NSF's Summit Station, Greenland, and a mini, field-centric version of NASA's PARCA meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the science and results emerging from the various field campaigns supported by NASA and NSF and possible synergies between deploying projects.
