[CIG-ALL] CIG March Workshop Participant Invitation

[Magali Billen]

Dear Colleague,

We would like to invite your participation in a workshop on the  
“Opportunities and Challenges in Computational Geophysics” March  
30-31, 2009, on the Caltech Campus in Pasadena, CA

At the workshop we will address scientific activities involving state- 
of-the art software such as that being supported by CIG,  innovations  
and opportunities in computational geophysics, and  ways to support  
and grow computational geoscience through community education  
programs.  An important objective is to obtain community input on the  
future of the CIG initiative.  The overall format will combine invited  
talks, discussion sessions and posters.  Participants in all areas of  
our science are expected, including experts in computational science  
and in geophysics. Young investigators are encouraged to participate.  
Financial support is available for participants.

A preliminary agenda is now available at
http://geodynamics.org/cig/future-of-cig-agenda

Please register now using this Registration Form:

Accommodations are available at the Courtyard Marriott, 180 North Fair  
Oaks Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91103, phone: 800-321-2211.

The room rate is $159 a night, with check-in on March 29 (Sunday), and  
check-out  March 31 (Tuesday). There are a few rooms available if you  
need to stay over Tuesday night due to travel problems. Hotel  
reservation cut-off date is currently February 20, but there may be an  
extension to March 1.

Independent of your participation in the workshop, we seek your  
feedback in the following survey:

Independent of your participation in the workshop, we also would like  
all CIG members to provide a one-page summary of their CIG experience  
(very important for our CIG II proposal planning); see
