At its March Board Meeting the BEACON Board received a presentation from BEACON Science Advisory Committee (SAC) Co-Chairs Dr. Kiki Patsch and Dr. Doug George on 2023 Activities and Looking Forward to 2024. 

The BEACON SAC is an important part of the structure of BEACON science support and decision-making. BEACON has consulted, employed, and supported the best scientists and sought to help develop the Best Available Science (BAS) in its projects. BEACON executive and program staff assist the SAC members in their activities. 2023 is the third full year of the SAC and one focused on addressing priority data and information needs, and implementing projects to fill those data needs.

Co-Chairs Patsch and George reviewed several important areas that the SAC was active in and achieved several project and program milestones.
