Thank you!
HOTEL INFORMATION
We have two hotels with rooms reserved for the PCMIP meeting. Both are a short subway ride, or moderate walk to NASA/GISS, which is at 112th and Broadway:
Hotel Newton (approximately 1 mile to GISS):
We have 20 rooms reserved at the Hotel Newton under the group name of "Columbia PMIP2". The address is 2528 Broadway (between 94th and 95th streets). You will each need to contact the hotel directly (212-678-6500) and make your reservation. The rate is $175+tax. Any unreserved rooms will cancel on 1 May 2008. Reservations are accepted on a first come, first served basis.
Hotel Milburn (approximately 2 miles to GISS):
If you are unable to get the group rate at the Hotel Newton, we have more rooms available at the Hotel Milburn, which is located at 242 W76th Street, between Broadway and West End Avenue. At this hotel we are using a rooming list, so you will need to contact me with your arrival/departure information. The Milburn rate is $195+tax for a double room and 4-person suites are $250+tax. Again I need to advise the hotel by 1 May 2008.
For more information, please contact:

 Global dimming is the phenomena of an observed reduction of sunlight (since about 1960) reaching the surface of the Earth. The effect is believed to be caused by air pollution and cloud changes (such as jet contrails). As some of the solar energy is reflected back to space, the effect leads to cooling and may have counteracted part of the greenhouse gas warming over the past few decades.

 One reason that global warming has been difficult to project is the
dual warming and cooling effects of certain human activities. In an
interesting twist, two recent studies suggest that not only is the cooling
effect of anthropogenic aerosols significant, but that improving air quality
could have the side effect of reducing a counterbalance to global warming. |

 The new EdGCM website includes an update to EdGCM (v2.5), as well as to EVA, our new scientific visualization utility. The site will now supply sample excercises that show how to apply EdGCM to current and key scientific problems, it will have updates on climate science news, expanded discussion forums, and will showcase how EdGCM is being used by educators and researchers around the world. Our goal is to build a community where people can explore for themselves and learn from others about issues in climate science and climate modeling. |
