This report outlines the agenda for the PICES FUTURE meetings, held on Saturday, October 22, 2011. Key topics include the study group on human dimensions, capacity building plans for PICES summer schools in 2012 and 2013, and discussions on upcoming international programs and collaborative workshops. Emphasis is placed on addressing climate change modeling, regional synthesis, and identifying emerging issues to establish a comprehensive roadmap for FUTURE. The meeting aims to enhance communication and coordination among various committees and expert groups.

Challenges for FUTURE • Participation in some APs (especially AICE) Review of membership (SB will review the list prepared by SEC, considering representation by committees and countries) • Incomplete “roadmap” or detailed plan for FUTURE • Note that SICCME has prepared such a plan for their work Intersessional FUTURE WS • Communication amongst Committees and Aps Efficient flow, website • Complexity of linking activities with ICES • Slow introduction of new Expert Groups Roadmap • Everything to do with Outreach/Engagement (SOFE) S-HD
What does FUTURE need from Committees? • Participation on FUTURE APs • Feedback on expert groups, topic sessions, workshops, priorities, symposia, meetings plans etc. • Through your committee chair is best • Recommendations on ways to improve communication/information exchange • Identification of emerging issues relevant to FUTURE
We need a roadmap for FUTURE • Complicated connections between expert groups require well-planned coordination with timeline of products and information flows. • The scope, role, and duration of each expert group should be clearly defined and understood by each within the big picture. • Needs to develop a roadmap with upcoming activities, new expert groups and milestones for 2012-2010
Upcoming events – Intersessional Science Board Meeting • Various options under consideration: • Narrow/internal focus on FUTURE detailed plan/ roadmap? • “start up” workshops on regional climate modelling, human dimensions, end to end modelling? • Some or all of the above? • Considerations: • Priorities • Cost • Integration with ICES • Avoiding “competition” with Yeosu Symposium and other meetings • Final recommendation/determination by Science Board/Governing Council
Upcoming Activities – FUTURE Open Science Meeting • Concept under discussion • Highlight progress of FUTURE • Interim synthesis and review • 2013? • Will we have enough products to show? • Too close to Yeosu Symposium • Competition with other international meetings. e.g., IMBER IMBIZO in Jan 2013. • 2014? • IMBER OSM is being planned • Could be at an annual meeting
FUTURE Website • Contents • Info • Meetings • Documents • Communication • Products • Who will design it? • By when? • Maintenance
2012 Topic Sessions (proposed) priority for FUTURE: • BIO/MEQ: Identifying critical multiple stressors of North Pacific marine ecosystems and indicators to assess their impacts • MEQ/FIS: Social-ecological systems on walleye pollock under changing environment • POC/FUTURE/CLIVAR: Challenges in understanding North Pacific climate variability and change • FIS/POC/ICES: Comparison of impact of multi-decadal climate variability in North Pacific and North Atlantic ecosystems and corresponding teleconnection patterns • MONITOR/FIS/FUTURE: Effects of natural and artificial calamities on marine ecosystems and the scheme for their mitigation • POC/FIS/BIO: Jellyfish in marine ecosystems and their interactions with fish and fisheries • MEQ/FIS: Social-ecological systems on walleye pollock under changing environment: an inter-disciplinary approach 2-3 sessions to be sponsored by FUTURE decided at Science Board
