SponsorsThe conference organizers acknowledge the generous support of the following organizations:
ParticipantsInterested to see who registered for the meeting? Meeting objectivesThe CSDMS Meeting 2011 will bring together CSDMS members to present new scientific insights in the modeling of surface dynamics and the impact of time and process scales, new advances in cyber-infrastructure, development and use of CSDMS models in education, and to allow the CSDMS Working and Focus Research Groups to engage in cross-domain discussions. Our Impact of time and process scales theme will address state-of-the art hydrological, ice, earth and ocean modeling; advances in the use of the CSDMS Model-coupling Tool (CMT); high performance computing projects; and will offer various hands-on clinics on specific community models as well as on model tools and protocols.
Plenary Keynote AddressesNote: While the exact titles may change, the list below offers the nature of the keynote address.
Concurrent ClinicsThe deadline (Oct. 8th) to choose your clinic to attend has passed. During the meeting you have another option to choose your clinic of interest if there is still space available. Pre-registered clinic participants have a guaranteed clinic seat.
Meeting ScheduleFor the latest schedule:
CSDMS Meeting 2011 Schedule (drafted October 25, 2011) The 3 day conference (October 28-30th) is being held partly over the weekend so as to have a minimal impact on peoples courses and teaching schedules. The program includes keynote speakers, hands-on clinics about models as well as on model protocols and standards, and poster sessions (note: poster boards are sized 4' wide x 6' high). There will also be time for each of the Working Groups and Focus Research Groups to meet. We have asked for a registration fee this year to cover workshop materials; refreshments, lunches and the dinner banquet; plus local transportation from the hotel to the meeting/dinner venues. Logistics
Hotel ReservationsFrom October 8th forward, participants are responsible to verify their hotel reservations and make any changes directly with the hotel. Thank you for understanding that this is the most efficient way to insure your accurate reservations. Regarding single versus shared rooms, very few people indicated a roommate name when registering. Therefore, we opted to provide single rooms if no roommate was indicated. The cost differential of $52.00/night will be deducted from your overall reimbursement calculated after the meeting. (To reiterate, unless previously arranged with CSDMS, your hotel room and tax will be automatically deducted from a CSDMS account and you will not be presented with a bill.) Should you still wish to change your hotel room from a single to double (shared room) please find a roommate from the participant list (above) or during the meeting, and make the arrangements directly with the hotel. The CSDMS Meeting 2011 hotel contact: Laurie Signore Reimbursement ProcessConfirmed and qualified participants will receive partial reimbursement of their travel expenses. (If you are unsure of your arrangement, please contact CSDMS at: csdms@colorado.edu) Please note that we are constrained to only provide reimbursement after the meeting (a process that may take 4-5 weeks), and we require original receipts. Email proof is fine -- but proof of payment must be evident. Thank you. Airfare Reimbursement: We hope to be able to cover, at least partially, all participant airfare costs. The extent of reimbursement will depend upon the total meeting costs. We appreciate your effort to purchase the least expensive airfare rate. Please email your air ticket that shows proof of payment to csdms@colorado.edu (You may also send this via post to address below.) Lodging Reimbursement: Most participants will have their hotel bill (room and tax) automatically deducted from the CSDMS Master Account and thus owed nothing at check-out except for any charges incurred beyond room and tax (those would be your responsibility). As per earlier arrangements, a few participants were responsible to cover their lodging. If your hotel bill was automatically charged to CSDMS, your reimbursement will not include that amount. It may also be reduced by $52.00/night (the cost differential between single versus shared room), depending upon your room arrangement. Registration Fee Reimbursement: Most participants will have their registration fee reimbursed (unless other arrangements were made with CSDMS). Other Reimbursements: Currently, CSDMS does not anticipate reimbursing other travel expenses such as perdiem, shuttle, parking, mileage, etc. However, if there are funds left in the budget following the meeting and regular reimbursements of participant expenses, we will be able to include such items to the extent possible. If you wish to send in these types of expense receipts for possible consideration at that later date, you may do so. Any original receipts that cannot be reimbursed will be sent back to you. Again, please be aware that this will add time to your regular reimbursement. The process for qualifying such expenses follow the same guidelines as stated above. Additionally, meal reimbursements must include an itemized meal ticket along with the payment receipt, and we are only able to reimburse meal amounts according to the federal regulations regarding limits for breakfast, lunch, and dinner per U.S. city. We are unable to reimburse alcohol expenses. Following the meeting, you will receive an email with a reminder about the reimbursement process stated here. If you did not receive this email, please contact Marlene Lofton (csdms@colorado.edu). We will be requesting identification information and asking that you please mail your original receipts that demonstrate proof of payment to CSDMS to this address: CSDMS ContactPlease direct all inquiries to csdms@colorado.edu with subject title: CSDMS Meeting 2011
