[Aqualist] Planetary Dunes Workshop

[Mary Bourke]

Planetary Dunes Workshop - First Announcement and call for Participation
http://www.mars-dunes.org/consortium.php#meetings

Note ** Notice of Intent submission Closes 2007-05-24
------------------------
We propose to hold a workshop incorporating oral and poster 
presentations as well as extended discussion dispersed around a one-day 
field trip to dunes at White Sands National Monument. The workshop will 
bring together researchers with interests in planetary dunes from 
diverse backgrounds in image analysis, modeling, and terrestrial 
analogue studies. A small group setting will facilitate intensive 
discussion of problems and issues in an attempt to identify the most 
promising approaches to understanding these dune systems and to develop 
a collaborative interdisciplinary research agenda. The workshop will 
produce a white paper outlining the current status of planetary
aeolian dune research and identifying key areas for future research.

Participation will be limited to a relatively small group, so please 
indicate your interest and willingness to attend the workshop by 
responding promptly below. Further details on the venue and costs will 
be sent to those who respond to this announcement. Please submit a 
notice of intent for each person who may attend by using our online page 
located at http://www.mars-dunes.org/consortium.php#meetings.
