AIRFARE
We
are able to book your airfare for you. After you choose your flights (using a
website like www.expedia.com, www.orbits.com, etc.), please email me your
preferred itinerary, and I will work with our travel agents to try to book
those flights for you. Please note, however, that any fees resulting from
changing flights, times, etc. will be your responsibility. We have a deadline
of April 30 if you would like us to book your airfare, so let us know as soon
as you are ready to choose a flight. It may take us some time to book your
flight, as we need to constantly check with our flight agents over fare
fluctuations. Once we find a flight for you, we usually have to purchase it
within 12 - 24 hours (and I will always confirm the flight with you before
purchase), so please look out for email from me confirming the flight! TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT*
If
you prefer to book your own flight, you may do so at any time. Please be
aware, though, that we will begin the travel reimbursement process after CIDER, and you should not expect
your reimbursement for at least 4-8 weeks from the time you submit your
reimbursement paperwork at the conclusion of your travel. Closer
to the beginning of CIDER, we will send you a form to fill out, which we will
use to add you to our financial system. Once you are in the system, we can
begin processing your reimbursement as soon as you submit your completed
paperwork. There
will be a travel reimbursement worksheet in the packet you receive when you
check in to CIDER. This will contain all the information you need to submit
your travel reimbursement (and do not forget to save your receipts and copies
of your boarding passes!). PARKING
Please
let me know if you will be driving, and if you will need a parking permit. ARRIVAL AND MEALS
Senior
participants will be expected to join the students and postdocs for lunch
Monday – Saturday in the dining commons on campus (I will send you more
specific information with dates and locations closer to the start of CIDER).
These shared meals can be an occasion for group socializing as well as
exchanging scientific ideas and information. Meal tickets are $10 and will be
available for purchase at the conference or at the dining commons by credit
card only. CIDER will also be hosting special dinners two evenings per week,
Tuesdays and Thursdays, some on-the- beach barbeques and possibly at other
places on or near campus. Please
let me know if you have any dietary restrictions (kosher, vegan, vegetarian,
food allergies, etc.) so that we can plan safe foods for you. Rental Cars for Senior Participants Rental cars for senior participants
can be included in their per diem rate for reimbursement. If you use a UCB
negotiated rate, then you do not need to purchase the collision, loss damage,
or liability insurance. If you are not renting through the UCB rate, the
University's insurance does not cover you and if you purchase collision
damage coverage, it is not reimbursable. To find the UCB code
for the various rental agencies go to the UC Berkeley travel site. The current details are: National Specify Corporate ID 5007818 Enterprise
Specify
corporate ID XZ23A01, Note: Enterprise may be used only within the State of
California. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The
Berkeley Seismological Laboratory on the UC Berkeley campus is organizing
this workshop, and I will be your administrative contact throughout
CIDER. Please contact me if you
have any questions! Contact: Kate Conner - kate @
