Rather we would like you to prepare presentations on sister or satellite projects of IGCP 596. Talks should include a summary on the scientific research, results, and some information on the funding source. Abstract Volume The volume shall include project reports about sister or satellite projects of which published output contributed to IGCP 596 or budget was used for attendance of related meetings. Following points shall be included within one contribution: Original project title, project leader(s), funding agency, duration, introduction on the scientific background of the project, research 2
