Webcast Available for Plenary and Working Group Sessions!
NCAR's Climate and Global Dynamics Division is pleased to announce its 12th Annual CCSM Workshop. This year's workshop is a combination of plenary presentations, special interest presentations by the CCSM working groups, and a poster session for attendees to highlight their work. With CCSM 3.5 in the works and 4 coming up soon, there's a lot to talk about. We hope you'll join us this summer in Breckenridge.

Registration Fee
There is a registration fee of $100 to attend the 12th Annual CCSM Workshop, payable by credit card during the on-line registration process. (This fee is waived for CGD staff and CCSM committee members.)
Poster Session
There will be a poster session Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for attendees to highlight their work. Guests will be free to visit the posters throughout the day and those submitting posters are encouraged to find times to "man" their posters and speak with guests (this will be informal). Posters must fit in a 4' x 4' space. You may mount your poster by Velcro or use thumbtacks. You will have an opportunity to enter your title, authors, and a brief abstract in the on-line registration.
Travel Assistance
The deadline for requesting travel assistance has passed. We regret that we are unable to accept requests from this point forward. Those who have requested travel assistance will be notified of their status in May.
Location
The town of Breckenridge has a lot to offer--the beautiful mountain setting, a variety of restaurants, shopping, golf, hiking, 4 wheeling, horseback riding, kayaking, hot air balloon rides, and several spas, to name just some of the highlights. We think you'll enjoy your free time.
The workshop will be held at the Village at Breckenridge. The majority of our sessions will be held in the Liftside Inn Building. Final locations will be available on the agenda closer to meeting time.
