Edmonton weather is dodgy in October. Dress for all seasons. Average highs are 15C, average lows are around -3C.
It is about a 30 minute journey from the Edmonton Airport to the University.
Cab fares are about $50. You can also take the
Sky Shuttle
which leaves for the university every 20-45 minutes and goes straight
to Campus Towers and Lister Hall. Its cost is $15 one way/$25 return.
The location of the workshop (Tory 3-36), accommodation (Lister Hall and
Campus Towers) and the banquet venue
(the Faculty Club) are indicated on the
Campus Map

hors d'oeuvres will be served, will take place at
#901 10504 99 Ave.
Buzz 1121 for entry.
In good weather
it is a pleasant 30 minute walk from campus across the High Level Bridge
and through the Legislature grounds (if you walk on the east side of the
bridge from 109 St), or it is a $7 cab fare.
The building, called "The Omega",
can be spotted from the Starbucks on the ground level.
The tentative schedule of talks and
abstracts can be viewed.
The campus has a variety of restaurants and cafes, mostly concentrated at
Hub Mall and the Student Union Building (SUB), shown on the
Campus Map.

The 3 day workshop
will be run from Friday October 5 to Sunday October 7, 2007
on the campus
of the University of Alberta
in Edmonton, Canada.
The workshop will build upon the successful meeting on
Complex
Geophysical Gravity Currents
held at the University of British Columbia in March 2007.
It will include talks on the dynamics of flows, with and without particles,
whose evolution is affected by ambient stratification.
As well as fundamental computational, experimental and theoretical research,
the workshop will emphasize geophysical applications to such phenomena as
-
volcanic eruptions incident upon the stratosphere
-
plumes and intrusions arising from convective storms below the tropopause
-
river plumes and intrusions interacting with a thermocline
-
The meeting will highlight nine 50 minute talks given
by the following Principal and Symposium Speakers:
- Joan Alexander,
Colorado Research Associates, Boulder
