2008 Telluride

2008 Telluride Workshop on Organic Aerosols

• Official website of the workshop
• Location
  • Getting to Telluride
  • Maps
  • Checking into your lodging
  • Location in Telluride: Telluride Intermediate School

• Important details
  • Talks are 45 min + 15 min questions. It is important to leave time for questions and discussion, as this is a key part of the workshop, and we do need to adhere strictly to the schedule.
  • Wireless high-speed internet is provided at the meeting venue
  • Slightly-better-than-continental breakfast is provided at the meeting
  • Be careful with the altitude
  • FAQs from Telluride Science Organizers
  • Breakfast for participants is included in the registration, but breakfast for family members is $5/day
  • Breakfast is also available in the days in which our particular workshop starts in the afternoon (in case people want to have "breakfast with wireless")

Schedule for 2008 Telluride Workshop on Organic Aerosols

Sunday August 3

• Informal meeting on Sun evening at Bubble Lounge, 200 W. Colorado Ave. From the TSRC website: "They have light meals, comfortable nooks to talk, no TVs and they can handle separate checks. They make excellent cocktails and have a nice selection of wine and beer. It is located just behind the Excelsior Restaurant, just north of Baked in Telluride, and is not expensive. The atmosphere is casual with a lot of style."

Other details

• Recommended hike from Nana (for Wed): Mill Creek trail. It starts as part of the Jud Wiebe trail (the toughest part of the hike) and then levels off to a rather flat trail. People can walk part of the way side by side, part single file and then it ends with a road where larger groups could talk. It's about 5 miles and loops to the Shell Station (formally the Texaco) and then you all can walk back along the river trail to town. It makes for a great medium level hike.
