Updated GeoPRISMS Implementation Plan is now available

Updated Version of the GeoPRISMS Implementation Plan is now available
    with a new section for the following primary site:
    – New Zealand (Updated December 23, 2013)
I am pleased to report that after several months of effort, and with excellent input provided by the scientific community, the primary site section for New Zealand as now been updated in the GeoPRISMS Implementation Plan.  This is the last of the five primary site sections to be updated in this document, following the many primary site planning workshops held over the last three years, and the guidance of more than 40 lead writers and untold other contributers.  With this addition, the GeoPRISMS Implementation Plan is now COMPLETE (i.e., no longer a draft), although as a “living document”, it is still subject to further revisions and updates based on community discussions and decisions at future workshops.  This is a wonderful close to my term as GeoPRISMS Chair (technically over on September 30), and I am thrilled to release this to all of you before the new year!
The final version of the Implementation Plan can be downloaded at the following site:

The full document can be downloaded in pdf format.  The updated New Zealand section, as well as Alaska, Cascadia, Eastern North America (ENAM), and East African Rift System (EARS) sections, also can be downloaded as separate pdfs, as can the revised appendices: A – IP Writing Team, B – IP Workshops, and C – IP Update history.
