October, 14-17th, 2010
Registration deadline is Aug 15th.
Conference objectives and general description
The CSDMS Meeting 2010 will bring together CSDMS members to present new scientific insights in the modeling of surface dynamics and environmental change, 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 Modeling for Environmental Change meeting theme will address state-of-the art ice, earth and ocean modeling, advances in the use of the CSDMS Model-coupling Tool, high performance computing projects, and will offer short clinics on EKT products. Importantly, the meeting is designed to have members strategize on the direction of CSDMS for the next 5 years (i.e. revised CSDMS Strategic Plan and CSDMS 5 yr renewal).
Themes
- Keynote lectures and Poster Sessions on Surface Dynamics Modeling, Cross-domain Model Coupling, Geodynamics, Ecodynamics, and Morphodynamics modeling.
- Clinics to learn more about individual models, model coupling and EKT products.
- Break-out group discussions on cross-domain model coupling.
- Working Group and Plenary discussions to develop 5-year strategic plan.
- Towards practical applications and modeling for environmental changes.
Conference set up
The 4 day conference (October 14th-17th) will be set up such that it is enjoyable for your spouse as well. Only 1 joint dinner is scheduled (inform us when you register if your spouse/partner wants to attend) and enough time is scheduled for lunch breaks to enjoy a meal in one of the many nearby restaurants.
