1. Who, What, When, Where, Why
Spring Meeting returns to the American Geophysical Union's home town for the first time since 1979. The theme of this five day meeting, May 30 to June 3, at the Washington Convention Center is "Integrative Geoscience Solutions: A Start for the New Millennium." The Convention Center is located at 900 Ninth Street, N.W., in downtown Washington.
Collaboration among researchers from scientific disciplines that have not traditionally worked closely together is increasing, especially in the geosciences. The meeting will be organized according to interdisciplinary themes that highlight this cooperation. In addition, a wide range of scientific societies have joined to host this meeting, adding the expertise of their members to the sessions.
The Geochemical Society and the Mineralogical Society of America continue their joint sponsorship of Spring Meeting with AGU. The co-sponsors of this year's meeting are the American Meteorological Society, the American Water Resource Association, the Estuarine Research Federation, the Geological Society of America, the National Association of Geosciences Teachers, The Oceanography Society, the Seismological Society, and the Society for Sedimentary Seismology.
2. Press Room
AGU will operate a press room and offer a full program of press conferences on cutting edge scientific research presented at the meeting. A press registration form is appended to this advisory and may be submitted on line, by fax, by e-mail, or by mail.
3. Hotels and Air Discounts
Hotel rooms at special meeting rates may be booked on line now through April 28, although it is possible that rooms at these hotels may all be booked prior to that date. For information on rates and location of hotels and to reserve a room, go to the AGU w
