The Radiation Belts and Waves Focus Group will hold a GEM mini-session 
at the Westin San Francisco Market Street hotel (50 Third St.) in the 
Stanford Room on Sunday Dec. 12, 2010 from 12:00 to 4 PM.

For a full schedule of the mini-workshop see
http://aten.igpp.ucla.edu/gem/pdf/MiniWorkshopSchedule_GEM2010_r3.pdf

At the mini-session we will be discussing details of the current GEM 
challenge which will be running until June 2011, and viewing 
presentations from some of the modeling teams that will be 
participating.

We invite all members of the community that may potentially take part 
in the challenge to attend, as well as all other interested parties.  
Since time is fairly limited, we can only accept a few additional 
brief presentations (1-2 slides max) to this session.  Please do email 
any of the organizers if you would like to present.

We look forward to seeing you at AGU
