• Invited overview talks: cross-disciplinary science inspiration for Institute
• Demos and illustrations to highlight examples of Institute Programs:
  • Computer code demos (Seismology, Geodynamics, Mineral Physics)

Workshop II:

Dates: Sept 8-9, 2003
Location: U.C. Davis, CA

This smaller workshop involved 10 members of the CIDER Steering Committee

The objective of this workshop was to prepare the proposal for the CIDER Institute and its programs, building upon the community input obtained in the first workshop. Focus was on management plan, implementation and budget. We also discussed the organization of the Summer '04 CIDER Program at KITP

The goal is to submit a 4 year proposal for CIDER to NSF by January 15, 2004. The proposal is in its final stages of preparation and will be circulated around the community by mid-December 2003.

These workshops are sponsored by NSF/EAR CSEDI Program.
