2012 Mantle Convection and Lithospheric Dynamics Workshop

LOCATION AND ACCOMMODATION

The meeting will take place at the University of California at Davis. The university is just 30 minutes away from the airport in Sacramento (SMF). Participants will be housed in UC Davis Residence Halls (in units of 4 single rooms sharing a common area and facilities) with meals in the Seguno Dining Hall. Participants staying in the residence halls will have access to the recreational facilities and the pool. We expect everyone to arrive on Sunday afternoon or evening before the first full day of the workshop. The meeting will finish at 5p on Wednesday, with last departures on Thursday morning.

Support

Due to generous support from CIG and NSF, accommodations and meals will be provided for all participants at newly renovated residence halls and dining facilities on the UC Davis Campus. In addition, we will provide partial support for airfare for all graduate students and post-docs (including non-U.S. participants). The amount of support available will depend on the total number of participants, but should be about $250-$550 per person, and this applies to U.S. carriers only, or airlines flying under U.S. code share (e.g., a British Airlines flight flying as "United Airlines #312" while in U.S. airspace). Some support may be available for other participants - please contact the conveners for more information.
