Dear Colleague:
This is the first announcement of plans to convene a
comprehensive international symposium on "ASTROPHYSICS OF DUST",
to take place in Estes Park, Colorado, during 26 - 30 May, 2003.
The conference site is the YMCA of the Rockies Conference Center,
located near the entrance to the Rocky Mountains National Park.
This conference should be of interest to anyone, who is professionally
involved with observational, experimental, or theoretical aspects of
cosmic dust in astrophysical environments ranging from the solar system
to high-redshift galaxies and quasars. The major themes of the symposium
are dust in galaxies, dust in circumstellar environments, origin and evolution
of dust, dyst physics, composition of dust, and models of dust and radiative
transfer through dusty systems.
If you would like more information about the list of subjects to be covered
at this conference, the preliminary list of topics and associated speakers,
the meeting venue, and the makeup of the Scientific Organizing Committee,
you are invited to visit our web site http://www.physics.utoledo.edu/~aod03/
If you would like to receive further details about this upcoming symposium
through subsequent mailings, please take a minute and submit your contact
information through our online interactive pre-registration form,
accessible through the web site listed above.
The meeting is planned for the participation of not more than 250 attendees,
and we will have provisions for an equivalent number of poster papers to be
presented. Please, sign up now, if there is even a small chance that you may
want to participate and present a poster paper at this symposium.
Further details will be given in subsequent messages to pre-registered
individuals at later dates.
If you can think of colleagues, who might also be interested in this
symposium, please, forward this message to them. If you should receive
more than one copy of this announcement yourself, take it as a sign that
your colleagues are thinking about you.
Best regards,
Adolf N. Witt
