2019 CESM Workshop

The 2019 CESM Workshop presentations have been posted below, view here

The 2019 CESM Workshop will take place 17 - 19 June 2019 at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO.

This year's workshop will be a combination of plenary presentations, special interest presentations by the CESM working groups, and a poster session for participants to highlight their work.

Registration will once again be opened in three phases:

  • Phase I: General attendees who need travel assistance
  • Phase II: CAB, SSC members, and external co-chairs
  • Phase III: Non-CGD NCAR staff, and general attendees traveling with their own funds

Dates for when these phases open and close are sent out to the CESM Participant email list Subscribe Here
