The Powell Center continues to host synthesis working groups this summer, with six groups scheduled over the next two months.  

The number of required steps for setting up a working group have recently significantly increased.  Approvals and travel arrangements are happening in parallel, and working groups may not hear about approval until the week before their meeting.  We realize this is challenging for planning ahead, and we thank PIs and participants for their timely responses and flexibility.  

Important synthesis science continues, recent publications can be viewed on our Publications page.  

Working groups hosted in June and July: 

• Water Cycle Synchrony, June 16th - 20th, 2025 

• Invasive Plant Impacts, July 21-25, 2025
