The joint 2016 CSDMS - SEN Annual Meeting
Capturing Climate Change

May 17 -19^th 2016, Boulder Colorado, USA

Registration

Registration will open Mid January

Objectives and general description

The joint CSDMS - SEN^* 2016 annual meeting will focus on “advances in simulating the imprint of climate change on the land and seascapes, including the processes that influence them”. We would like presentations to either focus on the impacts of present and future climate change, or how climate change has impacted the earth in the past. Topics of interests also include modeling research that integrate different disciplines, different scales, and the synergy between models and experimental data. As in past meetings, keynote speakers are by invitation only, and poster presentations are the general media. The meeting will include:

1. State-of-the art keynote presentations in earth-surface dynamics and modeling
2. Hands-on clinics related to community models, tools and approaches
3. Transformative software products and approaches designed to be accessible, easy to use, and relevant
4. Breakout sessions for Working, Focus Research Groups and the Initiatives
5. Poster Sessions

and more!

Poster Information: The poster boards are configured for 4' wide by 6' tall (portrait orientation) posters. The deadline to submit abstracts is April 15, 2016.

Reimbursement

Within its budget, CSDMS intends to support member applicants to attend the annual meeting. Towards this goal, we encourage members to fully or partially cover their expenses if capable. We additionally thank those in the industry and agency fields for understanding that 1) we cannot compensate federal agency participants since our own funding is from NSF, and 2) we request that our industrial/ corporate participants cover their own costs thereby allowing more academic participants to attend.

To the extent possible, CSDMS intends to reimburse the registration fee, lodging (shared rooms at 100% and single rooms at 50% at conference hotels), and a limited amount of travel expenses for qualified registrants - those members who will attend all three days of the meeting and are not industry or federal employees.

Important for foreign travelers requesting reimbursement: If you need a visa to travel to USA, select a business visa. If you need an invitation letter, please email csdms@colorado.edu as soon as possible. Also indicate whether specific wording is required in the letter. Second, we will need to copy the entry stamp in your passport sometime during the meeting as proof that you were here on business as required by US tax laws for reimbursement (especially when dealing with airfare.) We are only able to provide reimbursement for airfare within the U.S. All airfare that is being reimbursed must be for airlines that are U.S. flag carriers.

Travel, Lodging and Conference Center Information

The meeting will be held at SEEC
Hotels: Millennium Harvest House Hotel and the Boulder Inn by Best Western
Transportation: You can book transportation between DIA and Boulder here: Green Ride Boulder. And information on how to find Green Ride Boulder at DIA.
We will provide a bus between the hotels and the meeting venue each day. We will also provide transportation to the banquet.

^*) The Sediment Experimentalist Network (SEN) integrates the efforts of sediment experimentalists to build a knowledge base for guidance on best practices for data collection and management. The network facilitates cross-institutional collaborative experiments and communicates with the research community about data and metadata guidelines for sediment-based experiments. This effort aims to improve the efficiency and transparency of sedimentary research for field geologists and modelers as well as experimentalists.
