GLORIA PROJECTS

Work Group Actions - 2-Year-Horizon

By 2007, the Work Group seeks to:

2. Develop a research approach for extending Target Regions to investigate other aspects of alpine ecology, provide examples.
3. Coordinate fund-raising to support installation and analysis of existing and new GLORIA sites in North America.
