CSDMS Carbonate Focus Research Group meeting , January 26-27, 2009
| Date: January 26-27, 2009 |
| Location: University of Colorado at Boulder (CO), USA |
| Host: CSDMS |
Introduction
The Carbonate Focused Research Group (C-FRG) is part of the Community Surface Dynamic Modeling System program. C-FRG is one of several sub-groups within CSDMS and is tasked to make progress addressing the grand challenges for fundamental research on ancient and modern carbonate systems. The plan is to accomplish this through creation of the next generation of numerical carbonate process models under the umbrella of the CSDMS initiative. The models we develop will be both a repository for state-of-the-art knowledge on carbonate systems and a spur to collect, analyse and interpret data on carbonate systems.
Participants
If you are interested to join this meeting, please contact the C-FRG Chair, Peter Burgess (p.burgess@es.rhul.ac.uk). Registration deadline is January 13, 2009. Registration deadline is January 12, 2009. If you have special circumstances and would like to join after January 12, please contact the Chair, Peter Burgess. Thank you.
Personal invitations have been sent to specific CSDMS members with expertise in these areas to contribute to the discussion and planning of short- and long-term goals.
Circulars and Program
The specific purpose of this meeting is to start the carbonate focused research group research programme by doing two things:
- Preparing one or more draft proposal to NSF to fund research programs focused on development of next-generation carbonate numerical forward models. Although the focus of these proposals will be model development, the proposed work could also cover aspects of data gathering, concept development, and quantitative analysis of modern and ancient carbonates to support generation of meaningful, useful models; and
- Deciding on the best structure and working practices for the group to achieve the stated aims.
The C-FRG will meet for 1 1/2 days.
