CEDAR email: 2025 Joint CEDAR-GEM workshop: June 22-27 in Des Moines, Iowa

[Mark Conde]

CEDAR & GEM communities:

We encourage CEDAR and GEM community members to register for the 
forthcoming joint CEDAR-GEM workshop that will be held in Des Moines, 
Iowa during June 22-27, 2025.

It has been nine years since the 2016 joint CEDAR-GEM workshop that was 
held in Santa Fe, New Mexico. With the new Decadal Survey released in 
late 2024, there has been strong community support for once again 
adopting the joint format for this year's CEDAR and GEM meetings. The 
CEDAR and GEM steering committees have thus been working  together for 
more than a year to implement this, in collaboration with our sponsors 
at NSF, and with our conference organizers at UCAR/CPAESS and at the 
University of New Hampshire. As a result, we have planned a 
comprehensive six-day meeting that will feature:

  * An exciting student day on Sunday June 22 that has been jointly
    organized by our two student groups.
  * Multiple joint plenary sessions to address topics of combined
    interest in the areas of science, programmatics, and community care.
  * A number of independent CEDAR-only and GEM-only plenary sessions
    dedicated to  each group's specific science topics.
  * A wide selection of community-proposed breakout science workshops
    addressing timely science topics of high importance - some joint,
    some CEDAR-only, and some GEM-only. Outside of plenary sessions,
    there will generally be seven breakout workshops running in parallel.
  * Agency updates presented during a joint plenary session, plus agency
    office hours for more direct one-to-one discussions with agency leads.
  * CEDAR and GEM poster sessions running in parallel, with all posters
    on display all week.
  * Discussion of the new Decadal Survey during a joint plenary session
    on Friday.
  * Various extracurricular activities including a banquet, a meeting
    excursion, student-led community events, and breakout events led by
    various sub-groups for both scientific collaboration and and for
    socializing.
  * A fantastic conference center and venue in Des Moines, Iowa.

Meeting attendees will register through the familiar portals run by 
their respective CEDAR or GEM communities. We remind everyone that the 
deadline for "early bird" registration on the CEDAR side is this Friday, 
May 7. This is also the deadline for submission of regular CEDAR poster 
abstracts.

The draft agenda for this meeting is now available at:

We look forward to seeing you all in Des Moines, Iowa.
