An update from the Summit Science Coordination Office regarding Summit Station developments and the new Isi Station, renewable energy projects, and development of a GrIT science traverse facility.

Due to a lack of participants who can attend the meeting planned in Vancouver for May, the GEOSummit meeting has been postponed. Currently, we are exploring options for a fall meeting in the Washington D.C. area.
The 2013 GEOSummit Meeting will be held on Friday, May 3, in Vancouver, BC, Canada (in conjunction with the 2013 Arctic Observing Summit hosted by the International Study of Arctic Change).
An update from the Summit Science Coordination Office regarding plans for the 2013 GEOSummit Meeting, record melt observed at Summit Station in mid-July, and completion of the Big House kitchen remodel.
