IUGG 2015. VW05 QuAnMoVolc workshop
*****************************************************************************************************
Dear participant to the VW05 QuAnMoVolc workshop,
with less than 3 weeks ahead of us, the IUGG conference, and hence our workshop on the 25th of June, in Prague, Czech Republic, is fastly approaching. Our workshop will take place at the Holiday Inn Hotel directly next to the conference center. Since we have all solicited speakers confirmed, we would like to inform you of the anticipated schedule of the day, which is at the bottom of this e-mail.
We very much invite participants who desire so to hold a 2-slide, 2-minute oral presentation during Session 2. These could be the presentation of your poster, a new model or quantification technique developed at your lab, an issue you have with scaling/set-up/quantification of your analogue models, a question to the audience, a topic you want to have discussed during the day etc.
For the splinter group discussions in the afternoon, we invite propositions of questions and topics concerning scaling and quantification of analogue models (in volcanology). These can be focused, but broad enough for participants from the entire volcanological community to be able to contribute.
If you desire so, please send your propositions and/or 2 powerpoint slides the latest on Friday 19 June to Sam Poppe at sam.poppe@xxxxxxxxx, so they can be compiled in one file for rapid switch between presenters on the workshop day itself.
Please note that, while coffee breaks will be foreseen by the conference organisation, this will not be the case for lunch. You can use the general lunch facilities offered by the conference organisation in the conference center, or find lunching opportunities nearby the conference center.
For the evening, we will book tables at a nearby local restaurant. Sometimes, the most inventive and vivid discussions on a conference need food and drinks to extrude from many a volcanologists' brain! Please confirm your attendance to this evening diner, so we have a rough idea of numbers. We will inform you about the exact place and time of the diner venue few days before the conference.
We are very much looking forward to meeting you in Prague, and would like to thank you in advance for your contribution!
See you in Prague!
Sam Poppe and Audray Delcamp*
