Latest Research

The abstract deadline is 16 March. You can share your latest ideas and get valuable feedback

Unlike most meetings, you can present your very latest research. The abstract deadline is only two weeks before the Workshop! So you'll hear about entirely new studies as well as updates since AGU, GSA, and other meetings.

Submit Abstract »


Student Support

Obtain financial assistance to cover most of your registration, meals, and more

Assistance is available for a limited number of students from any country thanks to support from INSTAAR. Submit your abstract early; first come, first served.

Friendly Community

Mingle with friendly first-time and veteran participants in a nice location

Attendees like the Workshop so much they return again and again. And relaxed, informal interaction is fostered by the Workshop's modest size, high proportion of students, shared meals, and single-track schedule.

The Workshop will be held at the University of Colorado at Boulder. More specifically, the sessions will take place on the East Campus the Sustainability, Energy, and Environment Community building (SEEC). The SEEC building used to be called MacAllister and is located about 25 min walking distance from the Hotel and has convenient parking too.
