CLIVAR organized a town hall on the first day of the recent Ocean Sciences Meeting in New Orleans to showcase the breadth of CLIVAR activities, outline plans for the Research Foci and Panel activities and promote the Open Science Conference.  The event, entitled "CLIVAR—Climate and Ocean: The Next 10 Years of CLIVAR Science as Part of the World Climate Research Programme " attracted a lunchtime crowd of over 150 participants. You can download the flyer here as well as the presentations made at the town hall.
