Objectives and general description

The CSDMS Meeting 2013 will bring together the CSDMS Working and Focus Research Group members to be engaged in defining long, medium and short term goals for the new strategic plan, to present new scientific insights in the modeling of surface dynamics, new advances in cyber-infrastructure and development and use of CSDMS models in education. The conference 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.

Conference set up

The 3 day conference (March 23-25^th) will be 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 6' x 4' / 4' x 6'). There will also be time for each of the Working Groups and Focus Research Groups to meet to determine long-term, medium-term and short-term goals. We ask a registration fee to cover all workshop materials; refreshments, lunches and the dinner banquet; plus local transportation from the hotel to the meeting/dinner venues. A more complete agenda of the conference will be posted later.
