Dear colleagues and friends,

Please see below and attached an invitation to attend a remembrance of
Peter Fox to be held on Sunday December 12 as part of the American

possible for those not traveling to the meeting. Peter was a driving force
behind the establishment of the AGU Informatics section and was its first

accomplishments.

This invitation is being sent to AGU ESSI and to ESIP; feel free to forward
to other persons or communities that worked with Peter.
