Please follow the above link to the outlines of the talks and the lecture notes.Hilton Hotel at Eugene:
We will stay at the Hilton Hotel in Eugene. The rooms will be equipped with Double Queen beds and the group rates will be extended two days prior and two days following the the meeting ($84 + 9.5% tax per night in a double = $91.98). Please plan to arrive on Saturday, August 19, 2000. Check-in time is 3:00pm and check-out time is 12:00 noon. The hotel will make every effort to to accomodate those of you who arrive prior to check-in time.
Confirmation of your stay at the Hilton Hotel should be made under the following toll free phone number: 1-800-937-6660 from within the US/Canada and +1-541-342-2000 from outside the US/Canada. For those of you who stay at the hotel on your own expenses, the reservation desk will need your credit card number.
Shuttle busses will provide transportation from the Hilton Hotel to the meeting room at the University of Oregon in the morning and back after the meeting.
Details on the field trip and suggested clothing:
The field trip on Tuesday, August 22 will leave from the Hilton Hotel at 8:30 a.m. The trip will be led by Dr. Rick Conrey, Washington State University, and will traverse approximately 270 miles east of Eugene in a circular route through the western Cascades and into the High Cascades in the vicinity of McKenzie Pass, the town of Sisters, and the Three Sisters and Mt. Jefferson Wilderness Areas. The elevation at McKenzie Pass is a bit higher than 5000 feet. Participants will be provided with a detailed field trip guide, complete with appropriate maps, cross-sections, chemical analyses etc, as well as with a box lunch and a mid-afternoon snack. Comfortable shoes are suggested as all stops are near the road and no heavy hiking will be required. The weather in Oregon in August is usually clear and warm and insects are not normally a problem. A day pack with sunglasses, a water bottle, camera, extra film, sunscreen, hat, and a light jacket is recommended. Rain is always a possibility but at this time of year it is very remote--we have not had any precipitation for two months. A more likely problem could be smoke from forest fires. Central Oregon has been spared thus far this fire season but that could change.Meeting facility:
The meeting room is 110 Willamette Hall, near the center of the UO campus on 13th Avenue between University Street and Agate Street. The poster session/cocktail receptions and meeting dinner will be in Cascade Hall, the geology department's main building, which is immediately to the west of Willamette Hall and to the north of the Volcanology Building. Van shuttles will drop people off and pick people up on 13th Avenue in front of Willamette Hall.
