Meeting Objectives
A goal of the meeting is to bring together scientists who are focussed on modeling lithosphere and mantle dynamics, along with young scientists just entering this field. The program will include a mixture of general scientific discussions and discussions of technical issues related to numerical modeling. Each day there will be two or three invited oral presentations. All the other contributions will be presented in poster sessions, which will begin with a series of very brief overviews from contributors within each session. A significant amount of time will be devoted to informal discussions which develop from the invited presentations and the posters.
