*************************** ** THE GEM MESSENGER ** *************************** Volume 12, Number 20 June 11, 2002 --------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 GEM Telluride Workshop Call for participation in the GGCM session "GEM goals for GGCM" Thursday, June 27, 3:30-5:30 --------------------------------------------------------------- From: Terry Onsager Jimmy Raeder We would like to invite the GEM community to participate in this session which focuses on GGCM related issues. In particular we are planning to have discussions on: a) Current community-accessible models: What is available, how is it working, what is needed, and what could be improved? Several groups and organizations will present what is available now or in the near future. However, testimony and suggestions from users of any of these community models is particularly welcome. b) What should the role of the GEM community be in the emerging world of community-accessible models? Should the GEM community: Conduct research using these models? Organize challenges to validate or intercompare models? Recommend models for inclusion into the CCMC? Recommend metrics to test these models? Provide validation information, like data for metrics validation? As always, short contributions are welcome, and it would help the organizers tremendously if advanced notice of intended presentations is given. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |To add name to the mailing list or for a message to the GEM community | | please contact: editor at igpp.ucla.edu | | | |URL of GEM Home Page: http://www-ssc.igpp.ucla.edu/gem/Welcome.html | |Please update your e-mail address. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
