MEETING: Sixth Workshop on Catastophic Disruption in the Solar System
PLACE: Cannes, France
DATES: June 9-11, 2003.
DEDICATION: Dr. Paolo Farinella

SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: Dan Durda (Chair), Erik Asphaug,Kevin
Housen, Patrick Michel, and Akiko Nakamura.

Patrick Michel will take care of local arrangements and gourmet feasting and
will be the conference administrator.

The workshop will take place in the heart of the legendary French Riviera in
Cannes with its unequalled bay, traditions, and surrounded by small typical
villages. The Croisette Beach Hotel in which the meeting will take place is
located only a short step from the beaches of La Croisette, and a few
minutes by walk from the old town with its typical architecture, restaurants
and local people.

A web site devoted to the workshop may be found at:
http://www.boulder.swri.edu/~durda/cd6/meeting.html. In addition to emailed
announcements, additional information (links, PDF forms, etc.) will be
placed on this site and we encourage participants to check this site for
updates.

The Hotel itself has 50 rooms blocked for us, all with the modern confort of
a four-star Hotel (maximum number of stars in France): soundproofed with
air-conditionning, colour cable TV and filter power outlet for computer
equipment (for further information, visit the Croisette Beach home page:
http://www.croisettebeach.com/).

To make their room reservation, participants are required to fill the form
at the end of this announcement and fax it DIRECTLY TO the Hotel (note: the
Hotel is closed until December 27th 2002, so the form should be faxed
preferentially after this date BUT BEFORE March 17th 2003); the dealines and
cancellation penalties are well indicated and participants can also contact
the Hotel by phone if any other details or requirements are still needed. An
application form including other needed information (title of potential talk
etc ..) is also situated at the end of this announcement and must be filled
and sent by email to michel_at_obs-nice.fr

The format of the meeting, in keeping with the workshop spirit, will allow
ample time for discussion. The Scientific Program includes invited reviews
on the main topics and each session will be orgnized starting by an invited
review and followed by talks on the same topics with as much time as
necessary for discussions. The main topics and Invited Reviewers (IR) are:

I Confrontation laboratory experiments - observations - models

We anticipate the registration fees to be around 150 Euros at most, but the
final amount depends on how much additional support we can obtain. The
amount and payment will be asked later. The Workshop will start by a welcome
buffet on the beach on Sunday June 8th in the evening and it will include a
evening banquet on Tuesday June 10th in Mougins (one of the small villages
surrounding Cannes). Every Lunch during the workshop will also consist in
buffets (hot and cold) on the beach, including vegetarian plates. These
social events are free for the participants.

Finally, the Proceedings of this workshop will be published in the Journal
Icarus (to be confirmed).

We will let you know other details in the next annoucements. Given the
limited number of rooms, we encourage people willing to participate to
reserve their Hotel room as fast as possible by sending the form below by
fax to the Hotel, and we thank you in advance for sending back also as soon
