Dear Colleague, You may be aware of the workshops on the chemistry of Titan's atmosphere co-organized in recent years by Ralf Kaiser, Arthur Suits, Ian Sims and me, ‘Titan Chemistry– Observations, Experiments, Computations, and Modeling,’ which are an outgrowth of our NSF-CRC project on Titan's aerosol chemistry. This year I am leading the organizational effort for the sixth such workshop, to be held at the Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida (http://www.newportbeachsideresort.com/) in Miami/Fort Lauderdale area, next March. We anticipate 40-60 participants. The meeting will include a mix of observation, experiment, theory and modeling, and will include both neutral and ion chemistry. We are planning the workshop to begin with registration and a reception in the evening on Sunday, March 11, 2012, with Gordon conference style sessions beginning the next morning and continuing through midday on Wednesday the 14th. Invited as well as contributed talks are planned. Please email me as soon as possible if you are interested in giving a presentation or if you have any questions. Also please feel free to forward this notice to interested colleagues. The conference web site, including links for registration and for hotel reservations, is at: http://www.chem.hawaii.edu/Bil301/Titan2012.html Sixth Workshop on ‘Titan – Observations, Experiments, Computations, and Modeling’ Miami, Florida, March 12-14, 2012 The sixth annual workshop in the series organized by the NSF-CRC collaborative team (Ralf Kaiser, Arthur Suits, Alexander Mebel, and Ian Sims) features invited and contributed talks including a mix of observation, experiments (ion and neutral chemistry; gas phase and condensed phase), theory, and modeling related to Titan’s atmospheric chemistry (see http://www.chem.hawaii.edu/Bil301/Titan2012.html).
