-----------------------------------------------------------
The symposium is aimed at discussing the main results obtained in modeling of environmental processes during the last decade, and to explore the new trends and developments foreseen for the next few years. This will offer a unique, and much needed, forum in which researchers of different fields could gather and critically review the most recent achievements and the future trends of these branches of the environmental and earth sciences. On Saturday, June 24, participants in the symposium who wish to do so will have an open forum in the science museum, Universum, so that they can discuss environmental and earth sciences topics with the general public.
TOPICS
I. General Circulation Models II. Dispersion Modeling III. Geophysical Data Assimilation IV. Tomography V. Satellite Image Processing VI. Mesoscale Modeling
-----------------------------------------------------------

SUBMISSION FORMAT AND DEADLINES
E-mail submission of abstracts is strongly encouraged, organized following the standard AGU abstract format. Camera-ready abstracts in standard AGU format may also be submitted to the postal address below. Authors are encouraged to state their preference for oral or poster presentation, but the final decision will be made by the scientific committee.
Deadline for abstracts is November 30, 1994.
Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their contribution by January 16, 1995.
Full papers will be due by the first day of the Conference, June 21, 1995, but early submission will be appreciated, as it will speed up the review process (which will entail standard refereeing by at least two reviewers) and the publication of the proceedings. The format for the full-paper submission will be specified in the notice of acceptance.
REGISTRATION
The conference registration fee is US$300, which includes a copy of the proceedings and a ticket for the closing dinner.
A limited number of grants for partial support will be available. Please indicate if you need financial assistance before April 21, 1995.
Please fill in the following form and return by e-mail to:
symposium@brozo.dgsca.unam.mx.
