2008 Workshop on Numerical Modeling of Crustal Deformation and Earthquake Faulting

Travel Information

• Reimbursement Information
  • Air travel must be done on a US carrier in order to be reimbursed.
• Lodging

• Last year many participants stayed in single or double dorm rooms and found the accommodations quite comfortable. This year all of the rooms are singles. We encourage use of the dorm rooms to help keep the costs of the workshop down. Sign up for dorm accommodations by indicating your preferences on the registration form. If you choose to stay in one of the hotels, you must make your own hotel reservations via phone. NOTE: Discount room rates expired May 22, 2008.

Reimbursements

We have obtained funding from CIG, NASA, NSF, and SCEC for the 2008 Workshop on Numerical Modeling of Crustal Deformation and Earthquake Faulting that will be held in Golden, CO June 23-27.

Most attendees will receive at least partial reimbursement for their expenses associated with travel to the workshop. Precise amounts will depend on the total workshop expenses.

Note: All registered participants will be provided breakfast and lunch on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. All other meals (dinners and all meals on Friday) will be "on your own." There are a number of restaurants within walking distance.

We will reimburse attendees based on the following criteria:

1. All invited speakers will be reimbursed for all their airfare, lodging, and local transporation.
2. Registered attendees with official appointments at U.S. institutions will be reimbursed for as much of their domestic airfare and lodging as funding allows. Attendees should expect to pay for their local transportation and meals not provided. Attendees may be required to pay for a portion of their airfare and lodging expenses (e.g., we may limit lodging reimbursement to the amount of the dorm rooms).
3. If any funds remain after reimbursing attendees in categories 1 and 2, other registered attendees will be reimbursed for portions of their airfare and lodging. However, due to the number of registrants, we do not expect to be able to provide any reimbursement for travels from foreign institutions apart from those for invited speakers.
