The Bureau Science Strategy Break-Out Sessions

• Primary Bureau Science Goal and two secondary
  goals (how do they relate to the first?)
• What important contributions can Geology make?
• What are the priorities? Short and long-term?
• Illustrate with examples of scientific
  investigations.
• Utilize the Strategy, the one-pagers, or new ideas

Jot These Down!

• What does Geology have to do to be a significant
  player or contributor? What is our niche?
• What has to be changed, adapted, or grown in
  Geology?
• What new technologies, expertise and data are
  needed to achieve the vision?
• Which strategic partners need to be cultivated?
