3:00-3:15	Tea time
3:15-3:45	Activity 1: We will try to establish how different teams process ice core samples and how much information is recored in a data set *
	Examples we want people to try by replicating publsihed figures and associated datasets.
3:45-4:10	Presentations by teams 1-4 (5 minutes max):
4:10-4:30	Group discussion, selection of the scribe team leader that will produce Session 1 summary/best practices for the report document
