2011 Workshop Announcement

NCAR's Climate and Global Dynamics Division is pleased to announce its 165th Annual CESM Workshop being held at Great Divide Lodge in Breckenridge, Colorado from 20 - 23 June 2011. This year's workshop will be a combination of plenary presentations and special interest presentations by the CESM working groups. We hope you'll join us this summer in Breckenridge Registration is now open.

Poster Session

Due to a change in venue this year, there will be no poster session at this year's workshop. We sincerely regret this, but there is no dedicated room at the Great Divide Lodge to display the posters. We are exploring having a "virtual" poster session.

Travel Assistance

We have a limited number of funds to assist those who would not otherwise be able to attend the workshop. This includes ground transportation and lodging. Please request travel assistance in the on-line registration by registering in Phase I, which closes on 28 March 2011. Those who have requested travel assistance will be notified of their status by the end of April.

Location

The town of Breckenridge has a lot to offer - a beautiful mountain setting, 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 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.
