[tdwg-humboldt] Humboldt meeting this week

[Anahita Kazem]

Hi Yani,

In the latter part of the meeting, we also discussed:

- Whether the 'disturbance' (management, restoration, etc) topic and the 
sampling methods topic would require 2 task groups or be combined into 
one. I think the conclusion was 2 TGs.

- It might be best for the 'disturbance' TG to focus on human-induced 
changes, perhaps later extending to encompass 'natural' disturbances. 
The concern was that including any and all environmental change would be 
vague and intractable.

- Plans for producing educational materials on Humboldt Extn. Provisionally:
i. Kate supplements and finalizes the Guide, first quarter of 2024.
ii. Submission of proposals for workshops at ESA (Aug; already 
submitted) and BES (Dec; proposal deadline in May).
iii. Development of workshop content into more concrete materials.
iv. Potentially create a Humboldt module within the GBIF Training Course.

Noting this here, only because I'm not sure which parts you missed...

Best,

Ani
