Two hands-on research mini-projects were completed by participants during the 1999 Summer Institute. The first mini-project, focused on ENSO and agricultural production in Argentina, was coordinated by Dr. James Hansen, from the University of Florida, with assistance from Mr. Carlos Messina, from the University of Buenos AIres. The second mini-project focused on climate variability and water resources in Ecuador will be co-coordinated by Dr. Remigio Galarraga, from the Escuela Politécnica Nacional of Quito, and Dr. Edison Heredia-Calderón, from Ecuador's Instituto Nacional de Meteorología e Hidrología (INAMHI). Brief descriptions of each project can be found below. Summaries of the main results of each project will be added in the near future.
