The Greenland Ice Sheet Ocean Science Network (GRISO) organized an informal meeting during the Fall 2024 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Meeting that brought together an interdisciplinary and international group of researchers, government scientists, funding agencies, and representatives from Greenland. The goals of the meeting were to 1) facilitate interactions across individuals and groups that conduct and support research in and around Greenland (including Greenland Ice Ocean Science Network [GRISO], Future of Greenland ice Sheet Science [FOGSS], funding agencies, and more) and 2) promote discussion of how to best contribute to Greenland's National Research Strategy. We asked attendees to provide constructive feedback to the following questions: 1) Supporting capacity building for Greenland-led research is an important goal. How can we (individuals, organizations, etc.) best participate in capacity building? The more detailed or specific your suggestions or comments are, the more helpful! 2) What do you most want, what would be most helpful, and/or what is missing from a coordinated US domestic and/or international effort in Greenland? Again, the more detailed or specific your suggestions or comments are, the more helpful! 3) Please provide any ideas, questions, interests, or other things for the community to connect about. This is a catch all topic, but detail is helpful here too. The written report provided here details attendees responses to these questions in summary form. There is also a list of the 46 participants, including Greenlanders and US funding agencies.
