Greetings, DMTers -

I'm very pleased to announce that our colleagues at the Delaware Geological Survey have agreed to host the next DMT meeting, in June, 2014. (We probably caught you by surprise, with such an early announcement ! ) I sincerely hope you will be able to attend, and to share your background and expertise with colleagues.

Preliminary information is provided below. Please remember that each DMT meeting is focused on your interests, and so your suggestions for discussion topics, invited speakers, and logistics are most welcome.

I wish you a very happy and relaxing holiday season, continuing throughout the New Year.

Dave

p.s. By the way, regarding the Proceedings for previous years -- the DMT'11 and 12 volume is now in USGS review, and compilation of the DMT'13 volume will begin in January…

- We anticipate that Registration at that site will open in January. I will send you a notice when it's available.

(3) General plan for the agenda:

Sunday, June 1 -- the meeting begins in late afternoon - early evening, very casually as usual, with an icebreaker. Poster setup may be possible during this time (we'll verify this…).

Tuesday, June 3 -- Oral presentations and Discussion Sessions in the morning and afternoon.

Wednesday, June 4 -- we'll conclude (by noon) with informal discussions and presentations.

(4) Presentations and DIscussion Sessions:

- If you'd like to give a presentation (oral and/or poster), please contact me by email or phone. The following information is very helpful before we chat, and I'll need it for the final agenda:

- Title

- Author(s)

- Affiliation(s)

- a "blurb", just a few sentences, describing the subject of your talk.

- Before the end of January, I will post to the meeting Web site the Instructions to Authors.

- Regarding topics for the Discussion Sessions, please suggest things you'd like to discuss. They could be subjects for a relatively quick discussion (e.g., <30 minutes) or more general or challenging topics that warrant up to 90 minutes.

Even if you can't attend the meeting, we welcome your ideas and guidance regarding topics that you find most significant, and we'll try to work them into the agenda.

We hope to see you in Newark!

Dave
