Dear Colleague:

	The 1995 NSF Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) Summer Workshops will 
take place at Snowmass Village, Colorado from June 26 - June 30, 1995.  This 
meeting is comprised of workshops covering the three currently active GEM 
campaigns: Boundary Layer (BL),  Global Geospace Circulation Model (GGCM), and
Tail/Substorm (TS).  Every person on the GEM e-mail list will soon be 
receiving a detailed information package.  In this package, you should find:
(1) the workshop announcement with information on how to contact conveners and 
working group chairpersons; (2) travel and lodging information with a map of 
Snowmass Village; (3) a registration form; (4) a poster submission form; 
(5) information for electronic submission of posters [see addendum of this 
message for that announcement]; and (6) recreational activities information.
If you are not on the GEM e-mail list, or know of someone who should receive
this package, please forward both their e-mail and mailing addresses to me.

	The registration fee is $180 for the full 5 days.  The fee is $110
if you plan to attend only the BL/GGCM Workshops that span June 26-28 or
only the GGCM/TS Workshops that span June 28-30.  Registration after June 10
will incur a $20 penalty.  The registration fee covers daily continental
breakfasts, morning and afternoon refreshment breaks, the welcoming reception
on Sunday evening June 25, and the banquet on Wednesday evening June 28.

	Some travel support will be available for graduate students.  Students
will be asked to share accomodations.  Applicants are requested to write to 
me by May 12, 1995 briefly describing their area of interest and including 
a letter from their research advisor.  Very limited assistance may also be
available to non-students.
	
	Lodging is being held at the Slivertree Hotel/Wildwood Lodge and
at the Terracehouse Condominiums.  Your information packets will contain
lodging details; please note the different reservation cutoff dates and
phone numbers.  Also, be sure to identify yourself as being with the NSF/GEM
Workshop when calling for reservations.

	We look forward to another successful Snowmass meeting and hope
to see you all in June!
				With best regards,

P.S.:  	We have decided to make use of the latest technology for Snowmass '95
	by creating a virtual GEM poster session in "Cyberspace" to 
	compliment the workshop.  A description of this novel experiment,
	provided by Chris Russell and Guan Le who have taken the lead in this 
	grand adventure, is provided.  I urge you all to consider
	your own participation in this workshop enhancement.
