An open workshop entitled 'New Frontiers in Submillimetre-Wave and Far-Infrared Atmospheric Science' will be held at the University of Cambridge in the UK on 10 February 2015.
The workshop is being convened as part of a pilot study to assess how current and future developments in advanced submillimetre-wave and far-infrared spectroscopic and radiometric imaging technology can be used to address key challenges in observational atmospheric science. The workshop is intended to review the scientific challenges in areas such as atmospheric chemistry and dynamics and environmental monitoring, to consider what basic technology and instrument development is needed over the coming decade, and to assess how this maps onto current technological capability and future expectations.
There will be a number of invited reviews, covering a range of science and technology topics, some contributed talks, and ample time for networking and discussion. Organizers anticipate a small, focused meeting with approximately 50 participants. The workshop will begin at 9.30am and end at 4.00pm. Although some of the program has been reserved for invited speakers, there are opportunities for 15 minute contributed talks. All participants are asked to register by sending an email to Pam Hadder (spectro-ice [at] mrao.cam.ac.uk) Please indicate if you wish to give a 15 min presentation, and the subject of your proposed talk. There is no registration fee, and lunch is provided.
