40th Annual CMOS Congress, May 29- June 1, 2006
Toronto, Canada
Abstract Submission Deadline: February 1 2006.
Early Registration Deadline: April 15 2006.
The Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (http://www.cmos.ca) will hold its 2006 Congress from May 29 to June 1, 2006, at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Congress website is http://www.cmos2006.ca and the Congress email contact is cmos2006@cmos.ca.
This year's Congress has the theme "Weather, Oceans and Climate: Exploring the Connections."
The Congress will feature:
- Science sessions that highlight top Canadian and international research contributions to meteorology, oceanography, atmospheric chemistry and pollution, remote sensing, climate modelling, and weather and climate forecasting.
- Plenary presentations by leading researchers.
- An evening general-interest lecture, open to the public, on the theme of climate change.
- Outreach sessions that focus on education, on communicating our research results to the media, on policy implications of our research, and on career opportunities for young scientists.
- A banquet, a hosted lunch, awards of CMOS prizes, and the CMOS Annual General Meeting.
Please submit abstracts electronically to the Congress website (http://www.cmos2006.ca) before the deadline of February 1, 2006. You will be asked to submit your abstract to one of several planned sessions that are listed on the website. Because only a limited number of slots for contributed oral presentations will be available, the Congress will put a strong emphasis on high-quality poster sessions that will take place each afternoon. An abstract fee of $50 will be charged at the time of submission. Your abstract will be evaluated by the Congress's Science Program Committee and you will be notified by mid-March 2006 if your presentation has been accepted for oral or poster presentation.
Student CMOS members are welcomed and encouraged to apply for a Student Travel Bursary when submitting an abstract.
If you are an exhibitor, an educator, a member of the media, or anyone else with an interest in the meeting, please visit the Congress website (http://www.cmos2006.ca) and contact us at cmos2006@cmos.ca for further information.
