The GEIA project (Global Emissions Inventory Activity) is entering a new phase of broader scope within IGBP. GEIA's expended activities will be associated with the Emissions Database effort of the ACCENT (Atmospheric Composition Change: an European network) European Network of Excellence.

An open workshop for GEIA and ACCENT took place in Paris, in the "Salle de l'Espace" at the CNES headquarters (http://www.cnes.fr/cnes/etablissements/2index.htm and click on Headquarters-Paris). The workshop started at 2:00 p.m. on June, 23rd and end at 5:00 p.m. on June 25th.

The main goal of this workshop was to have extensive discussions aimed at reviewing existing research within several topics and at developing a preliminary plan for the GEIA/ACCENT activities.

The topics for this meeting included:

• Emissions from megacities
• Vegetation canopy/terrestrial emissions/deposition
• Remote sensing and driving variables
• Past emissions
• Future emissions
• Oceanic emissions
• Natural emissions of aerosols
• Biomass burning

Each session started with a review followed by very short presentations as a starting point for the discussions.

Workshop results will be posted in the fall 2004.
