Single brief (5 slides max) presentations for individual field studies are very welcome.

Topics to be discussed on Monday

Tue-Wed March 1-2, 2011: AMS Mini-Clinic

Some European scientists may not be able to attend the AMS clinic in Boulder (http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/wiki/index.php?title=AMS_Clinic3; 20-25/03/2011) so we do a European mini-clinic of 2 whole days focusing on main AMS issues including PMF. These two days are aimed to train students and data analysis people – time will be maximized and specific tasks will be thought (including PMF data analysis preparation, treatment and interpretation).
