IIOE-2 Science Plan Development Committee (SPDC)

in 2014, SCOR formed a committee to develop a Research Plan for the IIOE-2. This plan will be based on the foundation of the Reference Group's work and will feed into an Interim Planning Committee for the IIOE-2, co-sponsored by IOC, SCOR, and IOGOOS. 

Members of the IIOE-2 SPDC were drawn from nations historically involved in Indian Ocean research, including both scientists from within the region and scientists from beyond the region.
