2021 -22 NASA LCLUC Science Team Meeting & Silver Jubilee Celebration

The 2022 LCLUC Fall Science Team Meeting marks the 25th Anniversary of the NASA LCLUC program. On this special occasion, we will take some time to reflect on our past projects and share valuable experiences from the past quarter century with the LCLUC community. We will identify current research challenges and future directions for the program that will enable researchers to plan and build strong foundations for future research projects. The three-day meeting will focus on past accomplishments and current LCLUC issues with discussions on future directions to advance LCLUC research.
