Current SCOR Working Groups

Working groups are usually formed of not more than 10 members to deliberate on a narrowly focused topic and develop a publication for the primary scientific literature. Their work is intended to be completed in 4 years or less. SCOR has sponsored—alone or with other organizations—140 working groups, including the current ones.
