CLIM Transition Workshop: 14-16 May, 2018

Location

This workshop took place at SAMSI, Research Triangle Park, NC

Description

The transition workshop for the CLIM program was an opportunity for the active working groups in the program to exchange results and share their perspectives on common issues. This workshop focused on recent research progress that has been made in connection with the many research areas spanned by the CLIM program. Sessions of talks dedicated to each working group were presented by active members. The workshop’s goal was to facilitate planning for continuing collaborations on further research questions to extend beyond the period of the CLIM program.
