GLIMS Update: Prelim New Zealand Prog w/Abstracts

Mon Jan 16 20:55:28 MST 2006

Dear GLIMS Colleagues,

Here is a preliminary program for the upcoming New Zealand workshop.  Please
report any errors or suggestions or updates to Jeff Kargel
<jkargel at hwr.arizona.edu> and Narelle Baker <narelle.baker at gmail.com>.
Also, note that the extended abstract and registration deadline is 20
January.  It is not too late to get an abstract into the speaking or poster
agenda.  Any additional papers will be allowed by compressing other blocks
of the meeting, but we still have this flexibility.  You will find a text
version of the agenda below, and a formatted version in the attachment.  The
final agenda and final abstracts will be sent in a further GLIMS Update
before 30 January.

Poster presenters: Please note that you are assigned a 3 minute oral
presentation slot, during which time you may present 1 or 2 powerpoint
slides if you wish.

Oral presenters: Please note the time allotments in the draft agenda.  The
allotted times include questions and answers and transitions between
speakers.  If you would like more or less time, please let us know.

For the first announcement, see:

orkshop.html

Please keep in mind that we plan another workshop at the IGS meeting in
Cambridge next August (http://www.igsoc.org/symposia/2006/cambridge/).  We
do not yet have details about the GLIMS meeting, but will send a first
announcement out around April.

Sincerely,

Narelle Baker and Jeff Kargel
