2005 Io Volcano Workshop
2001 Io Decadal White Paper
Poster, to be updated for OPAG consumption (minimal changes so far).
Note the new dates:
We have
moved the
workshop forward two days to avoid conflict with the rescheduled Outer Planets Assessment Group
meeting
that will be held on Thursday and Friday June 9 - 10. We hope you can
attend both
events, and ensure that Io is well-represented at the OPAG meeting.

Scope
This is the latest in a series of Io volcano workshops that have
been
held once or twice per year for the last few years. The most
recent was organized by Bob Howell at Grand Teton National Park in
August 2004. We meet to present and discuss the latest research
on Io's interior, volcanos, surface, and atmosphere in an informal
setting. While the emphasis is on volcanic processes, discussion
of other related topics is welcome (and as we all know, everything on
Io is related...).

Logistics
Map of
Boulder showing the location of SwRI. We are on the 4th floor
of the Exeter Building, 1050 Walnut St. The entrance is on
the east side of the building, on 11th St. south of Walnut, not on the
north side as shown on this map. Additional maps and other
logistical information about SwRI Boulder can be found here
Travel to Boulder
If arriving by plane, plan on flying into Denver. Then take a
bus
or shuttle to Boulder (about a 75-minute journey), or rent a car.
Boulder is compact and has good public transportation, so you may not
need a car. More
information on transportation to and within Boulder, and other local
information. The shuttle van from the airport costs about
$25, and the bus costs about $10.
